Contacts Portal

Table of Contents

Overview

Contacts Portal is a custom portal that provides a central location from which to search, add, and manage stored names and contact information about people who interact with clients at your organization.

Contacts are separated into Professionals (people who provide professional or business services) and General Contacts (independent contacts not associated with an organization, commonly used to track family and other non-professional people).

Access to the Contacts portal and to the buttons within is role based, configurable and is managed by Site Administrators. As a starting point:

• The Contacts Portal is visible/accessible to Site Administrators and users in the Managers role.

• The Contacts portal icon is not visible to users in other roles.

Contacts who are added can then be "related" to clients. To find out more, please review the article about Contacts on the Clients Portal.

☑️ Requirements/Dependencies

Login with Site Administrator permissions to make adjustments to the Contacts Portal permissions and Page Part permissions and buttons.

New contacts are added from the Contacts portal front end (i.e. not from the Contacts portal within Site Administration). Select (click on) the Contacts portal icon.

The page loads with Professionals grouped by Professional Type, and General Contacts grouped by Contact Type.

Existing Contacts

Each Page Part has a search box that allows the user to search by name. If the person is not found "No data available in table" is displayed.

If the person is found, their information can be viewed, edited, renamed or deleted depending upon the role permissions of the user. All these actions are available from the actions menu (3 dots to the left of the name).

Note: When searching, use either a first name or last name (e.g. John OR Anderson). If searching a full name, you must search in the format LastName, FirstName (e.g. Anderson, John).

Add a new Professional or General Contact

1. Before adding a new Professional or General Contact, use the search feature within the type of contact you want to add. You cannot add duplicate names.
