The LE Manager Contacts and Communication module allows you to easily add two different types of contacts. 1) Employees 2) Non- Employees. To add contact information records for employees, you first need to make sure that the employee exists in the system by going to the ‘Personnel Manager’ from the main LE Manager Menu. Once a personnel record has been created for an employee, you can add unlimited contacts records for the employee by following these steps. 1)- Open the Contacts module from the LE Manager main menu. 2)- Click the ‘Add’ button to create a new, blank contact record. 3)- Click the ‘Employee’ button in the ‘Name’ field to select the name of the desired employee from the name selection list. Go to the next page > NOTE: You must create a different contact record for each type of contact information that you wish to store for both employees and non-employees. You can create an unlimited number of contacts for any person. For instance, one employee might need contact records for 2 different e- mail addresses, a cell phone, a work phone and a home phone. While another employee might only require a home phone and an E-mail address contact record. Employee contacts should ALWAYS be created by selecting their respective name from the name selection list using the ‘Employee’ button in the name field as this allows the greatest number of search possibilities for locating the record later. LE Manager also allows you to add contact information for non-employees. This allows you to permanently record contact information for officers from other departments, businesses that your agency use to purchase equipment, or to repair your vehicles. To accomplish this, you simply perform the following steps. 1)- Open the Contacts module from the LE Manager main menu. 2)- Click the ‘Add’ button to create a new, blank contact record. 3)- Click the ‘Other’ button located in the ‘Name’ field. this unlocks the name field and allows you to free-type the name of a non-employee. It is recommended that you enter non-employee contacts as ‘Last name, first name’ so that these contacts follow the same entry methodology as employee names. 4)- Fill out the remaining contact record fields to properly complete the Contact record.   Contacts Module Overview Getting started with Contacts Contact Record Data Entry Tips Looking up a previously entered contact Sending E-mails and text messages
