Viewing Contact Details in InterAction Windows Client

InterAction contains more information about each contact than what you can view from the main window. To view the details about a contact, select the contact from the contact list and choose Contact > View Details or double-click the contact.

InterAction provides the following contact details views (to set the default contact details view, see Set the Initial Details View):

Set the Initial Details View

You can set the contact details view that initially appears when you open the details for a contact.

TIP To open the details view to the last view you had open, select Last Active View.

The default setting for the initial view is the General view.

1. From the main window, choose Tools > Options.
2. In the options dialog box, select an initial view for a contact and choose Close.

Contact Details Context Bar and Filters

Every contact details view has a context bar that provides the contact’s name. For people, it also includes the contact’s job title and associated company. You can switch to the details view for the person’s company by clicking the company name in the context bar.

Many views also contain filters.

NOTE Although the wording for the options in the Activities view is different, the concept is the same.

Folder Filter

The Phones & Addresses, Notes, Activities, Additional Information, and Classifications views contain a folder filter. You can choose the following:

• View information from all folders
• View no folder-specific information (thus, viewing only global information)
• View information for a selected folder

Global Filter

The Activities and Classifications views contain a global filter that lets you filter whether to include or exclude global data.

Contact Details Toolbar

All views in contact details provide a standard toolbar at the top of the dialog box to help with contact navigation.

You can use these buttons in any of the contact details views.
