There are 6 types of Contacts with a growing features set for each. Selecting the proper Contact Type is very important because the Dashboard and Pipeline are sensitive to Contact Type selection.

• Clients
• Employees
• Partners
  • Other companies/people you partner with
• Vendors
  • People you buy from
• Others
  • Whatever else you need to use to categorize contacts
• Moved
  • This contact type designates that the contact has moved and changed locations.
  • This Contact Type is Not available in all accounts. If you would like access to this Contact Type please contact your Success Manager.
• Archived
  • Deleted Contacts
  • This is a fail safe to make sure if you did not mean to delete someone who can easily restore the contact.
  • These contacts are inactive and do not get checked in the duplicate check process.
  • If you delete from Archived the contact is gone forever.

Please note when you select the “All Main Contacts” Contact List it does not show you archived contacts. .

Clicking view all Active opportunities list out each individual opportunity that is in an active Sales Cycle.

You will note the Opportunity name is listed above the contact name. This is not like the rest of the options in the contact drop down list, because it is not displaying the central contact profile, but each individual opportunity.

Also be aware you can break down the contact type by using the drop down menu to the right of Search Contact by:

• Main Contacts
  • Only shows the default opportunity for each contact
• Active Opportunities
  • Will display all opportunities that are in an active Sales Cycle Step.
• All Opportunities
  • Will display all opportunities that exist in that contact type. Regardless of if they are active or not.

This information is included at the top of the page of each Contact List you select.

• API

To combine contacts – meaning to combine two contacts and their opportunities – Start by:

1. Checking it makes sense to combine them
   • Duplicate contacts because of repeat customers
   • Multiple sites for the same company that you have broken into separate contacts.
2. Make sure opportunity names in all contacts you are combining make sense.
   • You generally want to make sure the opportunity names are descriptive and easy to differentiate.
3. Use the Main Contacts filter on the contact list you are using.
   • This makes it easy for you to see that your combination has worked since one of the contacts will seem to disappear when done.

Once you have checked those items you are ready to combine the contacts.

1. Select the contacts you wish to combine and click the combined button.
   • You can combine as many contacts at once as you wish.
2. On the list of main opportunities for the contacts you selected click the star of the opportunity you wish to be the main opportunity out of the group.
3. Click Save

Once you have completed this you have successfully combined your contacts. If you open the main contact you selected and look at the opportunity dropdown menu you will see all opportunities tied to the opportunities you just combined. You will not lose opportunities by using this feature.
