Contacts Tab of the Activity Dialog Box

Use the Contacts tab to associate multiple contacts with an activity. When you schedule an activity, you can enter one contact name in the Primary Contact field on the Detail tab of the Activity dialog box. Then you can use this tab to associate additional contacts with the activity.

This is useful when you have more than one contact at a client firm who needs to be included in the activity.

This tab does not display when you create Project Planning tasks or activities in the Resource Planning application.
