Viewing a Constituent's Contact Information in CRM360®

You can change the contact information for the customer, such as phone numbers, email addresses, and web pages. You can also add non-primary contact information and specify whether the added information should be included in the directory.

 

The Contact Information screen is broken down by the following four categories, which will display regardless of whether or not a record has been defined:

·            Phone: only one phone number can exist with the same Type and Location.

·            Email: from this section, email addresses defined for the constituent will display as a hyperlink. You can click the email address link to open the Send E-Mail (APP140) screen or a blank Outlook email, depending on your configuration.

·            Address: when a constituent is first added to Personify, the address added at the time of creation is the constituent's default bill-to/ship-to address on all orders. If necessary, additional addresses can be added and this can be changed. Only one address can be marked as primary.

·            Web/Social Media: from this section, web site addresses defined for the constituent will display as a hyperlink. You can click the web site address link to open the web site directly in a browser.

·           Fax

 

Additionally, you can define a constituent's emergency contact from this screen.

 

To access a constituent’s contact information from the Background Information task category in CRM360, click Contact Information. Additionally, from the CRM360 header, you can click the Edit Contact Information link. The Contact Information screen displays below the header in CRM360.
