The contact profile
The contact profile is the screen where you view and edit all the information about a person. You arrive there by clicking a name in the catalog, from a payment, from a pledge, or directly via the URL /app/contact/fiche?id=....
It's also from this profile that you can act: add a payment, start a subscription, create a pledge, merge this contact with a duplicate, export their tax receipts.
Overviewβ
The profile is organized in three zones:
- The header (top banner) β global actions and quick buttons.
- The left column β identity card, indicators, family tree.
- The right column β detailed tabs (Information, Relations, Activitiesβ¦).
The header: actions on the contactβ
The top banner concentrates operations that target the contact as a whole.
On the left: quick actionsβ
Three large buttons always visible:
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| Add a Payment | Opens the entry of a payment already linked to this contact |
| Add a Subscription | Starts the creation of a recurring direct debit in their name |
| Add a Pledge | Records a donation commitment from this contact |
These three actions are the most frequent financial operations. They all open a modal window, without leaving the profile.
The dropdown menu (β’β’β’)β
The three-dot button on the left opens an advanced actions menu:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Add to categories | Label this contact with one or more categories |
| Merge this contact with another | Combine this contact with a duplicate β irreversible |
| Export tax receipts | Generates a recap PDF for this contact's income tax return |
On the right: edit, delete, restoreβ
| Button | When to use |
|---|---|
| Edit Contact | Opens the full form (last name, first name, gender, DOB, death, primary address, custom fields) |
| Delete Contact | Moves the contact to trash (soft delete) |
| Restore Contact | Visible only if the contact is in trash |
The header also displays, on the right, an access indicator: if your organization uses per-administrator access restrictions, you see in avatar form who can access this profile.
The left column: identity cardβ
The main cardβ
At the top left, a card highlights the essential information:
- An icon representing the contact (gender, deceased/archived status).
- The last name in uppercase and the first name capitalized.
- If the profile is deleted or archived, a colored tag indicates it.
Below the name, four colored round buttons to reach the contact (visible only if they have at least one phone or email):
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| Green phone | Starts a call via your device |
| Green WhatsApp | Opens WhatsApp Web or the app on the primary number |
| Cyan SMS | Opens an SMS draft to the primary number |
| Gray mail | Opens your mail client on the primary address |
Below, three (or four) buttons for access to related modules:
| Button | Goes to |
|---|---|
| Payments | The payments list filtered on this contact |
| Subscriptions | The list of this contact's subscriptions |
| Pledges | The list of their pledges |
| Reminders | Visible only if the reminders history option is enabled |
The indicators cardβ
Below the main card, a card summarizes the notable characteristics of the contact with icons and short descriptions:
- Is a Man / Is a Woman
- Is the Head of their Family
- Is Deceased
- Is Deleted
- Is a Baby (if linked to parents)
- Is Married to [spouse]
- Has N child(ren)
- Is N year(s) old (Hebrew age calculation)
This card only appears if at least one indicator applies.
The family treeβ
If the contact has at least one family relationship entered (spouse, parent, childβ¦), a Family Tree card displays the household rebuilt from these relationships. Clicking on another member of the tree opens their profile.
The right column: the tabsβ
The main area on the right is organized in six tabs.
| Tab | Content | Dedicated page |
|---|---|---|
| Main Information | Identity, parents (if child), death, phones, emails, social ID, gift aid, addresses, date of birth, notes | See the detail |
| Secondary Information | Categories (tags) and custom fields | See the detail |
| Relations | Family links: spouse, children, parents, sibling β this is where the contact's household is built | See dedicated page |
| Shlihout | Registrations to community fundraising campaigns | See Hebrew features |
| Interactions | Chronological history: payments, pledges, messages, forms | See dedicated page |
| Attachments | Documents and links attached to the contact | See dedicated page |
Automatic behaviors on viewingβ
A few mechanisms are triggered when you open a profile, without action on your part:
- "Viewed" marking: if the profile carried the New label (created automatically, never opened), it is immediately erased. The contact no longer appears in the New filter of the catalog.
- Synchronization: information is reloaded in the background to guarantee that you see the up-to-date version, even if someone else just modified the profile.
Special casesβ
"Child" contactβ
If the contact is linked to parents (typically a child enrolled at Talmud Torah), the profile takes a simplified form:
- The Phones, Emails and Addresses cards do not appear in the Main Information tab.
- A Parents card appears at the top, with clickable links to the parents' profiles.
- The call buttons (phone, SMS, WhatsApp, mail) disappear.
- The Payments/Subscriptions/Pledges shortcuts are also hidden (financial operations go through the parents).
Archived contactβ
The blue ARCHIVED tag appears next to the name. Clicking on it offers to unarchive the contact.
Deleted contactβ
The orange DELETED tag appears. The delete button is replaced by Restore Contact. All modification actions remain technically possible but inadvisable as long as the profile is not restored.
