Related Contacts SectionRelated Contacts are links to other contacts in the iPoint database. A related contact could be the contractor responsible for the work being completed or a property manager who takes care of a facility. Adding an individual or entity to a Contact helps cross-reference people to simplify communication.
The number to the right of the Related Contacts link in the left side menu bar displays how many related contacts are associated with this record.
Click the link to display the Related Contacts in a list. For each related contact, you can see:
- Full Name
- Email address
- Main and mobile phone numbers
- Relationship to the current contact
Note: When a contact has more than three relationship types, the ellipses indicate there are additional relationships that can be viewed on the details screen.
