Manage Your Contacts

You can create and manage contacts within Receptionist to easily make calls to stored numbers. Once you create a contact, you can update, delete, monitor a contact statically (used if you monitor the same contacts daily), monitor a contact dynamically (used to view selected contacts on an as-needed basis), and add a note to the contact.

The maximum number of contacts you can monitor statically is 200. The maximum number of contacts that can be monitored dynamically is 100.

From the contacts pane, select the Personal tab.

Click the Edit icon to add, update, or delete a personal contact.

To add a note to a contact, select the contact and click Notes.
