Maintaining contacts

Contacts are stored against companies but are able to be added and edited from multiple places, including when creating an invoice.

Adding a new contact

It is easy to create a new contact with only a name and email address being required. Additional details are able to be added, with address details able to be included on the PDF of invoices. 

If there is an address entered for the company the Same as Company option will be ticked, and the address of the company will be used for the contact. You can untick this and manually set an address for a contact if needed. 

Contacts are able to be added when creating an invoice, from within a company or within a project.

Editing a contact

All details of a contact are able to be edited by opening a contact from one of the directory pages.

The company a billing contact is linked to can be changed if they haven't been used on any invoices or quotes.

Deleting or deactivating a contact

A contact can be set to inactive if they are no longer needed. They will still be retained but will no longer be able to be selected when raising new invoices.

The option to delete a contact is only available if they are not linked to any invoices or quotes.

Create a contact when creating an invoice

A billing contact needs to be selected when creating an invoice. If the billing contact you need isn't shown you can create a new contact while creating your invoice.

Click the Billing contact field and select Add New which will be listed beneath any existing contacts.  You only need to enter a name and email to create the contact.
