<p>The <code>criteria</code> object specifies what contact
information is returned and how the returned information is sorted.</p>
<p>Each <a href="GUID-37C9E5F0-BEA9-4E0B-A40D-B953B3551007.html#GUID-37C9E5F0-BEA9-4E0B-A40D-B953B3551007"><code>GetList</code></a> call
targets one type of contact information:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>Contacts</strong> are individual contact entries in a contacts
database. You can retrieve a specific contact or a list of contacts depending
on the filtering <span>criteria</span>.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Contact groups</strong> are associations that group individual
contacts together by ID. You can retrieve a specific group or a list of groups
depending on the filtering <span>criteria</span>.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Contacts databases</strong> are databases that store information
about contacts and contact groups. You can retrieve a list of all the open
databases.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>The <code>criteria</code> object has three main properties: <code>Type</code>, <code>Filter</code>,
and <code>Sort</code>. These are described in the following table.
Properties enclosed in brackets are optional.</p>
