Contacts Setup

- To view Contacts, click on the menu
and choose Contacts in the Set Up section.
- To edit a Contact, click the pencil
to the right of each Contact.
- To delete a Contact, click the
button in the bottom left corner.
- To add a Contact, click the
button in the top right corner of the page and enter the information.
When "Inherited" is ticked then the contact will be assigned to the selected Area as well as all other areas underneath the selected Area.
If Inherited is unticked then the contact will only be set only for that individually chosen Area
An Area's contact will be shown in the "Area Details" view and when configured with the "Call Contact" action step.
