Each of your contacts must be categorised into one of four types:
Person
Organisation
Animal
Object
Contact Types are set by the Contact Form used to create the contact.
How Contact Types work
Each Contact Form can be associated with one Contact Type
In this example we will create a Contact Form that is associated with all four Contact Types
Whenever you create a new contact, you are prompted to select a Contact Form to use (unless the project you are creating the contact in only has one Contact Form associated with it). Makerble will ask you to choose the Type of contact you want to create based on the Types that are associated with that form
In this example we will choose the Person type of contact
The contact’s Type is now displayed on their Contact Profile page
And also on the Manage Contacts page Overview tab
