Contacts

The Contacts area of Business Development provides quick access to key information for your contacts at client, vendor, and subconsultant companies and at government agencies.

Basic information, such as title, company and location, phone numbers, and email address, is always visible. Other information displays on the Overview, Touchpoints, Associations, and Team tabs. (Your system administrator may also add custom tabs to supplement these standard tabs.)

Contact Summary Information

The name and title of the currently selected contact display in the upper-left corner of the Contacts area, and key data (company, status, location, and so on) display down the left edge.

Contact Search and Add Contact Option

Use the contact search field above the contact name to display an existing contact. The search list includes both contacts created in iAccess and those created in Vision. Use the + Add Contact option next to the list to add a new contact.

Toolbar

Use the toolbar in the upper-right corner of the area to edit contact information or add a touchpoint for the contact.
