Tip
You can add more details like job title, social profiles, address, and tags after you create the person. Just click on the person in your list to open their full profile.
Viewing a Contact Profile
Click any person in the list to open their profile. The profile has action buttons at the top, timeline tabs for related activity, and a Details panel for the contact record.
Record Details
This shows all the information stored for this person:
| Field | What It Is |
|---|---|
| Name | Their full name |
| Do Not Contact | Marks the person as someone you should not contact |
| Title | Their job title |
| Emails | One or more email addresses |

Social media fields are hidden by default. Click Show all values to see them.
Companies
This shows which companies the person is linked to. A person can be linked to more than one company (for example, a consultant who works with multiple organizations).

|---|---|
| Activity | A combined timeline of events, notes, tasks, and record changes |
| Emails | Email history when email activity is connected to the record |
| Notes | Notes you have written about this person |
