Choose a Primary Contact for each Project

Although a project can have an unlimited number of contacts, one individual should be designated as a primary contact.

Project deliverables, including the reviewed plans, are typically returned to the primary contact.

Promoting a Contact to a Licensed User

In some situations, it may be desirable to make a contact a licensed user. For example, when you want to allow a project Contributor to view and respond to the reviewer's comments while the project is ongoing.

Use the Promote to User button on the Contact form to do this. The individual will then become a project team member in projects where they were previously a contact.

1. Open the Contact form.
2. Click the Promote to User button.
3. Choose the appropriate User Role.
4. Switch the Inactive status to Active to grant the individual login privileges.
5. Click the Save button (required).

Inactivate a Contact record

Inactivating a contact record will prevent the individual from being linked to projects and from receiving emails. 

1. Open the Contact form.
2. Switch the Active toggle off.
3. Select Save to confirm your changes.

Inactivating a contact record results in the following:

• Projects in which the individual is associated no longer display the contact record.

• The individual will not be able to receive emails for downloading project deliverables.

Deleting a Contact record

1. Select the contact record from the Contacts page and open the Contact form.
2. Select the ellipsis on the right corner of the Contact form and choose Delete.
