A contact is someone associated with an account in CRM. A contact cannot exist in isolation - it must be attached to an account.
View a list of all contacts
Click the Phocas menu button > Contacts.
The Contacts screen displays a list of all the contacts you have permission to view. You can view, edit and delete individual contacts from here.
To add a new contact, you must have an account open. See Add and delete contacts.
Find a contact
On the Contacts screen, you can find a particular contact using the filter and search options above the grid or by sorting the list.
Use the Active filter to switch between viewing active and inactive accounts in the list.
Use the Owner filter to display only your contacts or contacts that belong to another user (that you have permissions to view).
Use the Team filter to display contacts allocated to a specific team to which you belong.
Use the Search box to search for a specific contact by name. This performs an is like search on the name column.
Click a column heading to sort data into ascending or descending order.
Filters remain active until you turn them off, so if you apply a filter and move away from the screen and then return, the filter will remain. To clear any filter you have applied, select All from the dropdown list.
