Managing Contacts


Overview

Locations have the ability to create contact relationships. Contacts will be assigned to the network as a supplier to and/or customer of your location. Contacts in the network that have a similar relationship to your location can be assigned to groups reflecting that relationship. Contacts that are related to each other can be assigned to labels that will denote that relationship.


Benefits

Groups and Labels can be used together or independently to filter contacts. Aliases are used as a shortened version of a contacts name in reporting.


Prerequisite

Contacts must be first assigned to your location by Jera Support.
