Using the Address Book / Managing Contacts

by Michael Nadeau Updated on

Using the Address Book

The Address Book contains a directory of all essential contacts for your organization. To open the book, click on the Address Book link on the left-hand navigation bar.

Note: These User Guides will be updated as more features are added and revised. Check in frequently for more information.

On the top of the screen, you'll see a section detailing the number of Total Contacts, Internal Contacts, and External Contacts.

Below that section, you'll see a Search Bar that allows you to search directly for a contact. Additionally, you'll see a drop-down menu that allows you to display the number of contacts per page, as well as a Download option that enables you to download the information in CSV format.

The main Contacts section displays the contact: 

  • Name (with links to their main contact pages)
  • Email
  • Phone Number
  • Company
  • Job Title
  • Location 

Use the drop-down menus to select exactly what contact information you want to display on the screen.

Editing / Managing Contacts

Click on the link on the contact's First Name to go directly to their Contact page. The Contact page is divided into five tabs:

  • Overview
  • Matters
  • Vendors
  • Legal Entities
  • Practice Areas

We'll go through these tabs here.

Overview

The Overview tab delivers key information about the contact, including: 

  • Contract Attributes, including Contact Type, First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone Number, Address 1, Address 2, City, Company, State/Province, Postal Code, Location, and Role
