When you create a new contact card, you often must type repetitive information. A great example is the name of the city where your shop is located. Most of your shop's customers live in the same city.
The Workstation Defaults Contacts tab is used to tell the software what information you would like to appear on contact cards by default when you are adding a new contact.
Any information you set here as defaults, of course, may be easily be overwritten when you are adding a new contact. These defaults are simply set here to save time later during your busy day.
Default Full Name - Allows you to populate a new contact's name with whatever information is put in this field.
Default City - If you service a primary city and most of your customers will have that city in their address it would speed up data entry by having the city populated automatically.
Default State/Prov - If most of your contacts are from the same state or province, it would speed up data entry by having that information populated automatically.
Default Postal - If you service a primary postal code, you may want to consider having the information pre-populated.
Default Country - Allows you to preset the country that will be pre-populated on all new contacts.
Default Phone Number - If you service customers from a primary area code, you may want it pre-populated on a new contact.
Free Form Phone Number - Allows for UK style phone number formatting.
Default to Search All Locations - Check this box to have the contact manager search all locations when searching for a contact. When this option is not checked, only your location is searched.
Use Reverse 411 - Check this box if you would like the software to automatically fill in the contact card's name, address and phone number information by doing an automatic reverse phone number lookup for you.
