The Contact Detail Page
The contact detail page shows everything about one contact in one place: their details, tags and owner at the top, and tabs for their deals, projects, billing, tickets, notes, files and more. This article walks through the header and each tab.
How to open it
- In the sidebar, open Contacts.
- Click the contact's name in the list.
You can also open it from anywhere the contact's name is a link, for example the Contact fact on a project page. The Contacts link above the name takes you back to the list.
You can open a contact if your role has View Contacts set to All, or set to Added and you added that contact. Otherwise you see an error page. See Adding & managing contacts.
The header
The header stays at the top on every tab.
| Part | What it shows or does |
|---|---|
| Photo and name | The contact's picture (or initials) and name, with their salutation. |
| Active / Inactive | The contact's status. |
| Awaiting approval | Shown when the contact signed up themselves and an admin has not approved them yet. |
| Category | The contact's category, if one is set. See Categories & tags. |
| Company | The company name. If the Contact Companies module is on and you can view companies, it links to the companies list. See Contact companies. |
| Email / Phone | Click to start an email or a call. |
| Website | Opens the contact's website in a new tab. |
| Created | When the contact was added. |
| Last activity | When something last happened with this contact. |
| Owner | The team member who added the contact. |
| Source | Where the contact came from (for example Website or Referral), if recorded. |
| Tags | The contact's tags (see below). |
Buttons
- Edit — opens the edit panel for the contact. Shown if your role can edit this contact. You can also press E.
- New — a menu for creating records already linked to this contact. It lists only what you are allowed to create:
- New deal (needs the Deals module and permission to add deals),
- New invoice (needs the Invoices module and permission to add invoices),
- New ticket (needs the Tickets module and permission to add tickets).
Adding and removing tags
If you can edit the contact, you can change tags right in the header:
- Click Add tag.
- Start typing in Search tags… and click a tag to attach it. Press Enter to attach the first match.
- If the tag does not exist yet, click Create "name" to create it and attach it in one step.
To remove a tag, click the × next to it. People who cannot edit the contact see the tags (or "No tags") but cannot change them.
The tabs
Tabs appear in the order below. Each tab only shows if you are allowed to see it, so your strip may have fewer tabs.
Switching tabs with the keyboard
Press C, then the tab's letter. For example, C then S opens Notes, and C then I opens Billing. Hover over a tab to see its letter. The shortcut does nothing while you are typing in a field.

Tips
- Use New in the header to create a deal, invoice or ticket that is already linked to the contact, so you never have to pick the contact again.
- Bookmark a tab. Every tab has its own web address, so you can save or share a direct link (for example to a contact's Billing tab).
- Missing a tab or button? It is hidden by your role's permissions or by a module that is turned off. Ask your company admin.
- Check Where they came from before you call a new lead: it shows which page and campaign brought them in.
- Press ? anywhere to see the keyboard shortcuts for the current page.
