Primary |
Select this checkbox for the primary contact. There can be only one Primary contact for each role code. If you select this checkbox for more than one record with the same role code, Costpoint displays an error message. When you run the Project Initialization subtask in Manage Contracts, Costpoint includes existing information from this tab in the creation of a new project record on the Manage Project User Flow screen, provided that a PRIMECUST role code is entered on this tab and the Primary checkbox is selected for that role code. The Primary checkbox is also used to populate the primary customer in linked subcontract records as well as reports that use customer information. |
