Create a New Contact

Prev Next

This article shows you how to create a new contact in Contact Management. Contact Management is a new feature created as part of the Elevate initiative. It keeps all contacts in one place, so you don't have to add a new contact each time you create a permit, license, or project. Rather than adding a new contact record each time. This also lets you view a contact and see all records where that contact is used.
