The Contact Screen
The History screen is broken down into three areas.
1. Contact History
The Contact History gives you a snapshot of your Contact's preferences and personal information. The data in this top panel is visible whenever you are looking at a contact record.
- Data Table: the Data Table selector let's you choose which table you are looking at. The data below the snapshot will change depending upon the table you are viewing, but the snapshot pane is always visible.
- Personal Information: Your contact's information is visible in this pane. The data fields in this panel are the same for every Databank, meaning it is not customizable, and the field is only displayed if data is in the field.
- Advanced Relationships: Any Advanced Relationships this contact record has with another record is displayed in this pane. Advanced Relationships are only available in Databank Fundraising and Databank Advocacy.
- Address and Districts: The name of your contact's company, their address and their legislative information is displayed in this pane.
