Contacts Tab of Client Info Center

Use the Contacts tab to associate contacts with clients. You associate a contact record with a client record when you add it to the Contacts grid. Both records reflect the association.

If the contact record that you want to add to the Contacts grid does not yet exist in your database, you can create a new contact record and simultaneously add the new contact record to the Contact grid.
