Add or Edit Contact Information

The Contacts tab on the opportunities workspace contains a toolbar for working with the contacts associated with the opportunity.

When an opportunity is assigned to you in the form of a lead, the contact information is often present. Sometimes, however, only an organization is associated with the opportunity, so you must add contact information.
  1. From an open opportunity, click the Contacts tab.
  2. Perform one of these tasks:
    • Click Add > Add New on the toolbar to open the New Contact window.
    • To edit a contact for the opportunity, right-click the contact and select Open. A window containing the contact’s information opens. (The contact edit window contains the same fields as the New Contact window.)
  3. Enter field information.
