Contact Record Relationships

A contact record allows multiple associations between most objects. The following table describes selected fields and their relationships to contacts.

Field	Relationship to Contacts
Address	More than one address may be specified for a contact. When the user selects a street address for a contact associated with multiple addresses, a dialog box appears allowing an end user to select one primary address for the contact. An address record may be shared between many contacts or many accounts. As a result, if you modify the address for a contact, it modifies the same address for other contacts and accounts that use this address record.
Households	A contact may be associated with more than one household. When the user selects a household for a contact associated with multiple households, a dialog box appears allowing an end user to select one primary household for the contact.
Contact Method	This field allows an end user to indicate the contact’s preferred method of communication by selecting it from the drop-down list.
