Do Not Disturb - Groups Not Showing Up

I've been wanting this do not disturb feature ever since I left the blackberry. I wish apple would just make it so you can select a couple of contacts rather than Everyone, No One, or Favorites.

It looks like in order to select certain contacts I need to put them in a Group. I did this in outlook and titled it Ring Through. It does show up in my contacts when I view the groups.

The problem is when I go to set the group in the notifications area of do not disturb the group isn't listed. Does apple not support groups from outlook in here, all I have is all contacts as a group when clearly there are other groups in my contacts??

Any advice would be appreciated.

I am having the same issue on my iPhone 4 with the iOS 6 upgrade. Everything else about the DND function works, with the exception of no groups showing up other than "All Contacts." I do have multiple Contact Groups set-up.

Are you also using outlook and and exchange server? That's how I set up my groups that don't show up. I don't sync my phone with Itunes it's done through the exchange server wirelessly. The group does show up as I posted above on my phone just not in the DND area.

I also use MS Exchange 2010 and have multiple contact folder and groups. None of them show up in the DND screen.

Exactly the same issue, it is like DND is not managing group like Exchange does.

They reserves this functionnality for the people who are using group created in iphone/itunes (sync with Outlook for example).

I hope they are going to think about Exchange users (more than 80% of professional users where this functionality is usefull) in IOS6.1 to solve this issue...

Sorry I don't have A answer but how do you get to that 1st page exactly, that you have posted? Ring through etc...? I thought there were only the 3 options in DO NOT DISTURB. Thanks.

Luv- that 1st photo posted is from the groups page in the contacts area. So just select phone, then contacts, then in the upper left it will show your groups. The ring through is a group I made in outlook and exhange put it to my phone but it doesn't show up in my DND settings. The second photo is the do not disturb page where the 3 options are. If you are syncing with outlook through Itunes then I'm guessing the group you made will show up here.

To make a group in outlook you just go to your contacts right click on on the contacts then select make new folder, Put your contacts in this and they will show up in the group... again I believe if you are manually syncing. My problem is exchange doesn't do this for some reason.
