The contact profile

View of the 'contact profile' page

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.

Overview​

The profile is organized in three zones:

  1. The header (top banner) β€” global actions and quick buttons.
  2. The left column β€” identity card, indicators, family tree.
  3. The right column β€” detailed tabs (Information, Relations, Activities…).

The header: actions on the contact​

The top banner concentrates operations that target the contact as a whole.

On the left: quick actions​

Three large buttons always visible:

ButtonAction
Add a PaymentOpens the entry of a payment already linked to this contact
Add a SubscriptionStarts the creation of a recurring direct debit in their name
Add a PledgeRecords 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€’)​

The three-dot button on the left opens an advanced actions menu:

ActionDescription
Add to categoriesLabel this contact with one or more categories
Merge this contact with anotherCombine this contact with a duplicate β€” irreversible
Export tax receiptsGenerates a recap PDF for this contact's income tax return

On the right: edit, delete, restore​

ButtonWhen to use
Edit ContactOpens the full form (last name, first name, gender, DOB, death, primary address, custom fields)
Delete ContactMoves the contact to trash (soft delete)
Restore ContactVisible 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 card​

The main card​

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):

ButtonAction
Green phoneStarts a call via your device
Green WhatsAppOpens WhatsApp Web or the app on the primary number
Cyan SMSOpens an SMS draft to the primary number
Gray mailOpens your mail client on the primary address

Below, three (or four) buttons for access to related modules:

ButtonGoes to
PaymentsThe payments list filtered on this contact
SubscriptionsThe list of this contact's subscriptions
PledgesThe list of their pledges
RemindersVisible only if the reminders history option is enabled

The indicators card​

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 tree​

If the contact has at least one family relationship entered (spouse, parent, child…), 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 tabs​

The main area on the right is organized in six tabs.

Automatic behaviors on viewing​

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 cases​

"Child" contact​

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 contact​

The blue ARCHIVED tag appears next to the name. Clicking on it offers to unarchive the contact.

Deleted contact​

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.
