| Opportunities grid
|
This grid displays the opportunities with which the contact is associated. You can establish the association of an opportunity to the contact by selecting the opportunity in this grid or by selecting the contact in the Team Members grid on the Team tab for the opportunity in the Opportunities area. If you add, edit, or delete information in this grid, that change is also reflected in the Team Members grid for the opportunity. To add another opportunity association, click
+ Add Opportunity below the grid.
If the list of opportunities in this grid is long and you want to locate a particular one, type one or more characters from the opportunity name in the field next to
Opportunities. That filters the list so that it only displays a list of opportunities whose names contain those characters. To restore the full list, click
X at the end of the field.

| Contacts grid
|
This grid displays a list of other contacts that are in some way associated with the contact. To associate another contact, click
+ Add Contact below the grid.
When you associate a contact with the currently selected contact,
Deltek Resource Planning also adds the reciprocal association. You do not have to manually create an association for both sides of the relationship. For example, if Contact A is the currently selected contact and you add an association with Contact B in the grid and select
Ex-Coworker in
RELATIONSHIP, a reciprocal association is automatically added for Contact B also. If you then select Contact B and go to the Associations tab to view that contact's associations, the grid contains a row for Contact A with
Ex-Coworker in
RELATIONSHIP. The entry in
RELATIONSHIP DESCRIPTION is also automatically duplicated in the reciprocal association.
If the list of associated contacts in the grid is long and you want to locate a particular contact, type one or more characters from the contact's name in the field next to
Contacts. That filters the list so that it only displays a list of contacts whose names contain those characters. To restore the full list, click
X at the end of the field.
