This is only applicable with the ‘Allow Contacts Against Multiple Records’ system setting enabled. There are implications for turning this on that need to be discussed with support.
When ‘allow contacts against multiple records’ is enabled, there is a slightly different process for adding the contact against another company – the user doesn’t add them new, the user would instead link them via a different screen.
First you will need to go to the Contact Overview page in the system – you can do this either by:
Going into the Contacts module:
Searching for the name/email address of the contact:
Then click on the name of the contact:
Or – use the top search bar by email address:
Then click on the company in the search result:
Then click on this square button next to the contact:
Either of these routes loads the Contact overview page
The next step is to click on this company icon top-right:
You can then search for the company to link the contact to:
This will link this contact to more than one company.
