Setup (general)

Setting up additional contacts

In Digita Practice Advanced, you can set up an unlimited number of additional contacts for clients, staff, office, and firm. For example:
  • In the Clients screen you can enter your client’s employees as additional contacts.
  • In the Staff screen, you can set up a staff member’s emergency contact as an additional contact.
  • Your firm may have business affiliates, such as the firm’s attorney, with which staff need to communicate frequently. You can set up the affiliate as a firm additional contact so that their contact information is available to anyone in the firm with the proper security.
note
Clients, office, staff, and firm are user-defined terminology items. Your firm may refer to them by different names. You can view the default names for user-defined items by choosing Help > Enable Default Terminology (or by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+H).
