Business Partners – Contacts

The form contains a list that allows you to search across all contacts regardless of company. You define the shared properties of contacts using filter criteria and then receive a filtered list. The form is linked to the Company Addresses form and the Contacts tab in the Business Partners module.

Attachments

On this tab, you can archive various documents related to the given person, such as contracts.

The toolbar at the top of the table contains a number of buttons; the purpose of some of them is described in the dedicated section "Program Controls".

Using the "New" button, you can add a new attachment. When adding an attachment, you can choose from the following options:

  • File – a file from your local computer is loaded into the database,

  • Internet Link – the application stores the link (URL); the data from the linked source is not loaded into the application,

  • File Link – the application stores a link to a file on the local computer's disk; the file data is not loaded into the application (do not rename, move, or delete the linked file).

Each inserted attachment has a folder icon that allows you to view the attachment at any time. You can also use the folder icon to save the attachment to a different location. The scanner button is used to scan the document, and the second option allows you to select the scanner and scanning parameters.
