How-To: Understand Contact Record Tabs
Within the contact record, you will see up to seven tabs. The tabs that display are based upon the modules you have with Finalsite Enrollment. Please note: For schools using the Review Module, the Review tab will only populate for a student once they are placed in the 'Review in Progress' status with at least one reader assigned.
Each contact record tab will be summarized below. Click on any of the titles below to go to a dedicated help article for that contact record tab.
