Contacts
Contacts stores mailing list entries and information on users with full access accounts . This information is obtained from a form on the website. You may collect information on up to nine user configurable points of interest (pertaining to the web owner's products and services). With a click of a mouse button you can send targeted mailings based on points of interest. You can also generate manager classification reports based on who is interested in your site and why, to tailor site content accordingly . During account sign-up questions, comments, feedback, and quote approval are given by the user. Quote approval permits comments to be used as testimonial quotes in a random display on the site (see Quotations ). Users may also attach graphics, pictures or logos. These will automatically show as a thumbnail for easy download and may link to the full-sized graphic.

Contact information
is simple to maintain!
Contacts may be linked, optionally, to a company record. The
company
information is linked and owned by a particular person. Ownership is easily transferable to another person. Users may edit contact information and change to a full account or deactivate their account. When information is edited and blind copies are sent and copied to the web master this maintains an open dialogue about changes and since information cannot be deleted, provides an audit trail.
Manager's function: Once logged in, an editor or manager may change security levels and directly add or edit contacts. Searches may be done by status and security level and sorted in ascending or descending order. A list showing the first ten will be shown and the manager may then choose one and edit any field. After any change is made an email is sent to address of person being edited, showing before and after data about the edit. Contacts record is automatically flagged with editors account, time and date. An editor may write notes visible only to himself (such as, Mr. Smith enjoys Swiss chocolate) which can aid in contacts management.
Like all modules, contact entries may be coded by website so that a common set of databases can serve multiple web sites.
