In the Contacts section under CRM, the Contacts of a company can be added to an existing customer in DocketManager. Contacts are the only point of contact in DocketManager, all communications sent through DocketManager are only accessible if there is an available contact with an email address.


The CRM > Contacts tab can be used: 

  • To search and locate a contact or group of contacts
  • To action a contact
  • To bulk action contacts
  • To delete contacts
  • To export a contact list


Note: Access to these functions will vary based on the user's security settings.


Using the search filters on contacts allows you to locate a particular contact or it can be used to find multiple contacts with similar specs.


Note: If there is a specific set of search criteria you use often, it's possible to save it in the form of a Smart List for future searches. (See General - Smart Lists)
