Manage Your Contacts
You can create and manage contacts within Receptionist to easily make calls to stored numbers. Once you create a contact, you can update, delete, monitor a contact statically (used if you monitor the same contacts daily), monitor a contact dynamically (used to view selected contacts on an as-needed basis), and add a note to the contact.
The maximum number of contacts you can monitor statically is 200. The maximum number of contacts that can be monitored dynamically is 100. |
