Create a Client > Contacts

Clients contacts are the people associated with your clients that you may wish to add to a job, estimate, invoice or mailing list.

Client contacts are accessed through the client card via the resources module or the CRM module.

Contacts must live against a client, prospect or supplier, they cannot exist on their own.
