Field Description
Our Team Grid

This grid displays the employees from your firm who are associated with the contact. To add another employee, click + Add Team Member below the grid.

When you add a new contact using the Add Contact form, you are automatically added as a team member for that contact.

The Our Team grid is sorted by employee status, with all active employees displaying at the beginning of the list and then all other employees sorted by name.

To copy or delete a team member on the grid, click , and select the desired option.

If the list is long and you want to locate a particular team member, type one or more characters from the employee name in the field above Name. That filters the grid so that it only displays a list of team members whose names contain those characters. To restore the full list, blank out the field.

Name

This field displays the employee's name. Click the name to display a tooltip containing employee information: job title, location, phone numbers, email address. (If the row is in edit mode, you cannot display the tooltip. In that case, click anywhere outside the row to take it out of edit mode and then click the name.)

To add another employee to the team, click + Add Team Member below the grid to display an empty row, and select the employee in Name. Click to select the employee from the full list, or type one or more characters from the employee name (first, preferred, middle, or last) in the Name field to select from a list of employee names that contain those characters. (You can also search for a first name - last name or preferred name - last name combination, or for an email address.)

Status
