Manage contacts

Every contact in Foral brings together all the information about a person or organisation in one place. You can add as many emails, phones and addresses as you need, and find any of them in seconds.

Create a contact

1. Open the Contacts module.
2. Click New.
3. Fill in the fields you want. Only the name is essential; everything else is optional.
4. Save. The contact appears straight away in the list on the left.

What information you can store

A contact can include several structured fields:

• Name — first name, last name and full name.
• Nickname, Organisation and Title.
• Emails — add several and label each one (for example, personal or work).
• Phones — landlines, mobiles or work numbers.
• Addresses — one or more full postal addresses.
• Web addresses (links) — sites or profiles linked to the contact.
• Birthday and a free-form Note.

You can attach a photo to the contact using the web address of an image.

Edit and delete

• To change a contact, select it in the list and edit the fields in the details panel on the right. Your changes are saved to your workspace.
• To remove a contact, open it and choose delete. The entry is deleted from your address book.

Find contacts quickly

The search box, at the top of the left-hand panel, filters the list as you type. Just start typing a name or an organisation name and the list narrows down to the matching results.

Search is forgiving and instant, so you do not need to type the full name or press any button: contacts are filtered in real time as you type.

Tip: keep the Organisation field filled in. Because search takes it into account too, you can quickly list everyone from the same company.
