Contacts Customers Tab

View and create contact information for customers. The customer contacts tab provides a central location to store and manage contact information related to customers. This includes name, phone number, and other information. Up to date information makes it easier to access and update.

The default page view is List view, which displays all information in a spreadsheet-like format. Card view displays the same items as blocks. You can switch between views on desktop platforms by clicking either the list or card icon located at the upper right of the list. Mobile phone and tablet devices only display Card view.

In List view, resize and reorder the columns, and sort them in either ascending or descending order.

Access the Contacts section from within various tabs.

The Contact list view includes the following columns:

• Name: First and last name.

• Phone: Assigned phone number.

• Pager: Assigned pager number.

• Primary contact: If True, then this individual is the main point of contact for the associated customer. When creating or updating a contact, you can mark a contact as primary by selecting Primary Contact.
