Creating a contact

You can create a new contact from any of the Insight contacts imported into your Salesforce account. Note that imported contacts are always associated with a Insight company but the related company may not necessarily be associated with an Insight project. 

The information displayed on the Salesforce contact details page is imported from the Insight contact listing. When creating a Salesforce contact, this same information is displayed on the New Contact page for review and editing.  

Note: Not all fields from the Insight contact listing may be present in your Salesforce version of the contact. Additionally, there may be fields in the listing that are specific to your company. For more information, contact your system administrator. 

This section contains the following topics:
