Creating a Master Contact Record

Creating a Master Contact Record is simpler than creating a new contact.

To create a Master Contact Record:

  1. Select Address Book from the FootPrints Toolbar.  The Address Book Homepage is displayed.
  2. Select Create Master Contact Record from the Create Contact menu.  The Create New Master Contact Record page is displayed. Note that the name used for this is not “Create Master Contact Record”, but the name of the field used for Master Contact Records. If the field used is “Company”, the menu selection will say “Create Company”.
  3. Enter the data in the appropriate fields.  For example, if you are using a field named "Company" for lookup, enter the name of the company in the Company field.
  4. To update all records that have a matching Master Contact Key, check the Update Contacts checkbox.  This updates all of the records that have the same value in the Master Contact Key with the same data in the contact fields.
  5. Enter your password and click the GO button.  The Master Contact Record has been created.
