Share a Contact

Some employees may use the same contact for different purposes. Use the Share Contact command to copy the contact automatically and create an additional contact record for this employee.

Once contacts are shared, editing one shared contact record will automatically update all contacts linked to it by sharing. All fields for shared contacts are therefore identical.

If the contacts should have different phone numbers, they cannot be shared.

  1. Select Manage Employees from the Human Resources menu, and that window opens.
