This article will give you an overview of what you will see on a contact record.
Finding a Contact
To find a contact, enter their name in the search bar - this can be found at the top right of your screen.
By default, the contact record will open to display its 'Overview' tab.
Overview
This tab will display all of the participant panels configured for the specified participant type.
Matters
This tab displays all of the matters that the contact record is associated with. This list functions like any other list view, and the default filter is set to only display open/active matters. You can clear this filter to see all the matters this contact record has ever been associated with, even the closed matters.
Notes
In this tab, you are able to add notes against the contact record. These notes behave like file notes, except they are not associated with any matter in particular, but rather the contact record itself.
If there are any notes loaded against a contact record, the contact record cannot be deleted until the notes are deleted.
Documents
In this tab, you can upload documents to be stored against the specified contact record. This may include employee agreements or medical files.
