Work Information

If you do not see a specific field grouping when viewing a contact, it is because there are no fields with that grouping set to display for the type of contact - click here to learn more.

You can change the grouping for most fields from the Fields Setup page using the 'Edit' option. Use the Contact Layout page to set which fields display for different types of contacts in your system.

Edit Fields

Located in the upper right of the tab. This button allows you to make changes to most of the fields displayed within the current tab.

Once you have made your desired edits, be sure to click the green Save Edits button to confirm the changes or click the grey Cancel button if you don't want to save your changes.

The Edit Fields option is useful because you can update any fields that were incorrectly filled out on a form, update information to make it current, or fill out an internal-only field. Please note: Updating fields within the contact record will NOT update the information on any submitted forms. Fields on forms are saved as-is and do not update unless a new form is submitted as a replacement.
