Is it possible to change the layout of the Contacts view? I know how to add
and remove fields from the view, that's not the issue. The problem is with
"general" fields of "Click Here To Add A New Contact" and "Search Contacts".
Right now, if I click on the Contact view and type a name, it will assume I'm
adding a new name. I'd like the "Search Contacts" field to be the primary
active field so that when I click on the Contacts view and start typing, it
will be filling in letters into the "Search Contacts" field. If I could
remove the "Click Here To Add A New Contact" field from the view all
together. Can I somehow move the "Search Contacts" folder from its current
location on the right hand side to be on the left?
Thanks for your help.
 
you can remove the click here row - you need to customize the view - it’s
in the other settings button, new item row near the top of the dialog.
You'll also want to disable in-cell editing.
