You can change the contact information for the customer, such as phone numbers, email addresses, and web pages. You can also add non-primary contact information and specify whether the added information should be included in the directory.
The Contact Information screen is broken down by the following categories, which will display regardless of whether or not a record has been defined:
· Phone - only one phone number can exist with the same Type and Location.
· Email - from this section, email addresses defined for the constituent will display as a hyperlink. You can click the email address link to open the Send E-Mail (APP140) screen or a blank Outlook email, depending on your configuration.
· Address - when a constituent is first added to Personify360, the address added at the time of creation is the constituent's default bill-to/ship-to address on all orders. If necessary, additional addresses can be added and this can be changed. Only one address can be marked as primary.
· Web/Social Media - from this section, web site addresses defined for the constituent will display as a hyperlink. You can click the web site address link to open the web site directly in a browser.
· Fax
· Domain- as of 7.5.0, from this section, you can enter a company's name as a registered domain. On the web, group managers are able to manage individuals with the Domain that the staff member assigns them to. For more information, please see Adding a New Domain Record to a Constituent's Record in CRM360.
Additionally, you can define a constituent's emergency contact from this screen.
To access a constituent’s contact information from the Background Information
task category in CRM360,
click Contact Information.
Additionally, from the CRM360 header, you can click the Edit
Contact Information link. The Contact Information screen displays
below the header in CRM360.
From the Contact Information section, you can perform the following actions by using the wrench icon at the communication method level (as highlighted below).
If
the constituent does not under any circumstance want to be solicited in
any communication method, uncheck the Allow
All Solicitation checkbox. Doing so will add "Do Not Solicit"
in right text to the right of each communication method, as shown below.
If the Allow All Solicitation checkbox
IS checked, the system will mark the "Allow Solicitation" flag
for each type of communication method. The only place the "Allow
Solicitation" flag is specifically used in Personify360 is in Marketing:
(1) from the Marketing
and Communication List Maintenance (MKT002) screen from which marketing
lists can be generated, and (2) the MKT800
process. But the expectation is that organizations will use this flag
frequently as an Advanced Parameter when they generate mailing labels
using CUS500 and with custom
reports and Data Analyzer queries used to generate calling lists and mailing
lists.
