  • Select a Contact
    Use the search field immediately above the contact's name in the Contacts area to select the contact that you want to review or edit.
  • Use a Custom Contact Search
    If the default contact searches (Active, All, and Mine) for locating and selecting contacts are not satisfactory, you can create custom searches. When you create a custom search, you have the option to save it so you can use it in the future without having to specify the search parameters again.
  • Add an Individual Contact
    Use the Add Contact form to add a new contact record.

    To import contacts into Deltek Resource Planning from a .CSV (comma-separated values) file rather than entering them individually, click Contacts on the Imports tab in the Integrations & Imports area of the Configuration workspace.
  • Edit a Contact
    To change contact information, go to the Contacts area and select the contact.

    Use the Touchpoints tab in the Contacts area to view and update the touchpoints (simple activities such as meetings or phone calls) for a contact.
