Contacts Dashboard Capabilities

 

The Contacts Dashboard is made up of three parts: the View List (Contacts or Companies), the corresponding list, and the filters. Access to the dashboard includes access to the filters. The following capabilities govern the Contacts Dashboard. [See also Project Dashboard Capabilities for capabilities pertaining to Team Contacts.]

Note: Capabilities related to the Contact Dashboard must be added to global roles (not project-specific roles).
