View the Contacts of a Site, Site Group, or Company
Contacts, Contact Lists, and Dynamic Contacts can be created on a global (Company), site group, and site levels.
You can see the contacts, Contact Lists, and Dynamic Contacts created for an entity (site, site group, or Company) on the Contacts page of the corresponding entity.
The Contacts Page
To access the Contacts page:
of a site, go to Sites > [site] > the Contacts tab
of a site group, go to Site Groups > [site group] > the Group Contacts tab
of the Company, go to Company > the Global Contacts tab
The picture below shows the site Contacts page as an example. The page is divided into the following areas, from top to bottom:
- the Contacts area (described below)
- the Contact Lists area (described below)
- the Dynamic Contacts area (not shown on the figures below, see section Work with Dynamic Contacts > Dynamic Contacts Overview > View Dynamic Contacts of a Site, a Site Group or Company for details)
An Overridden Contact or Contact List on the Contacts Page
In evalink talos, a contact or a Contact List can be overridden (temporarily substituted) with another contact or Contact List for a configurable period of time. Only Administrator and Manager have the permissions to create an override.
The figure above shows an example of a contact override, see the entry in square brackets that the mouse cursor points to.
If the override is currently active (the override time includes the current moment), the entry in square brackets is highlighted in bold and color.
The override period and the reason for the override are displayed in a tooltip that appears on mouse hover.
For details on creating and managing an override, see section Advanced Operations with Contacts and Contact Lists > Temporarily Override a Contact or a Contact List with Another One.
The Contacts Area
The Contacts area in the upper part of the page displays the contacts and their details.
By default, no contacts and Contact Lists are present on the page.
