Do not delete this page - MYOB Practice navigates to it from within the product

MYOB Practice stores information about your clients and other contacts. It also gives you easy access to client and contact details such as names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses.

Here's what you can do on the Contacts page:

• View the details of your client such as name, address, contact details, etc.
• Pin the clients you're working on to Client sidebar.
• Filter and group by different options available.
• Access the client workspace so you can see the work in progress for your client.

Difference between a client and a general contact

There are some differences that distinguish a client from a contact:

• Clients are individuals or entities such as companies that you do work for. They must have a client code assigned to them.
• Contacts (General) are individuals or entities such as companies that your practice may come into contact with as part of its work.
  For example, prospective clients, suppliers of products and services such as banks, and shareholders, directors, or partners that you may need in your database but do not do work for.
