Process

Add an Individual Contact

1. Navigate to the Contacts drop-down tab on the left navigation and click Companies

2. Click on "Add New Contact" in the top right corner

3. Enter the contact's email address in the search bar.

  • The search bar will identify if the email address belongs to an existing workspace.

  • If the contact does not exist, you will be prompted to enter the contact's information, Select the workspace, and click "Save to Contact List".

Note: When you enter the user's email address, the email search bar will search the Ingenious global database and identify the user to avoid duplicates. If the contact exists, it will show you the contact and give you a message "User is already in the contact list".


Edit Contact Details

Important: You will only be able to edit contact details for off-system contacts. The contacts on-system will need to update their information on their end.

1. Click the contact you wish to edit from the contacts list or search for that contact's name.
2. Click on "Edit Contact" located in the top right corner, and enter the contact information

3. Once the contact edits have been saved, click the "Save" button in the top right corner of the screen to return to the list of contacts.
