4.  See List of New Contacts in Contact Manager

I created 4 new contacts in my Contact Manager.  2 of the users are linked to existing users on my Joomla 3.1.1 website and 2 are not.

• Message:
  • Contact Successfully Saved
• You can see in the column ‘Linked User’ that 2 of the contacts are linked and 2 are not
• 2 belong to the Finance Team
• 2 belong to the Sales Team

After you create contacts you can list them using a menu item in your website.  You can choose to create a contact form for these contacts to be available for people to contact them via the form.

Thanks,
