Contacts (List)
A Company can have one or more Contacts.
The Contacts (list) is where Contacts for the company are listed (but will be an empty row on the initial add).
It is also where additional Contacts for the Company can be added via the Add Contact button.
Adding a Company/Contact initially
During the initial add of the company/contact, this contact list will have a single row and be highlighted blue. The Contact Name and Email etc. will be blank. This list is not used until after the first contact is entered and saved (so during the initial add, skip this section) and go to the Contacts Details section below the list to add the contact).
Editing or Viewing an Existing Contact
Once a Contact has been entered and the information saved, then the Contact(s) will appear in this list. If there is only one Contact entered, there will be one row and the Contact is highlighted blue.
If there is more than one Contact, there will be multiple rows. When the form is first opened, the Primary Contact will be automatically selected i.e. it will be highlighted blue while the other Contacts will be white.
The Primary Contact is the one with the Crown in the first column.
Options for the contacts can be viewed by hovering on the row and the options will be displayed on the right hand side.
