You can create a new contact from several places:

• The Create Menu

• Within the Contacts App

• My Home

To create contacts in bulk from a spreadsheet or other data source, follow the instructions to import contacts.

Summary of the process

1. Choose a project that the contact will be created within (The project choice is not permanent. Once a contact has been created within a project, they can be added to additional projects and/or removed from the original project)

2. Choose a single Contact Form to use to create the contact (Every project may have one or more contact forms assigned to it. Once a contact has been created, their record can be updated with details from additional Contact Forms)

3. Choose a single Contact Type to assign to the contact. There are four possible types: Person, Organisation, Animal and Object.

4. Now you can complete the Contact Form to create the new contact.
