Let's imagine a situation, that your beauty salons network is currently offering a discount for a man's beard cut. Thus, when creating a mailing list, it will be convenient for you to filter the contacts of male clients, while female ones will not get this message, as this offer is not interesting for them.

Actions that may be performed with a contact

There is a context menu next to every contact name. It allows performing such actions as editing, copying, deleting a contact, etc. There is also the possibility to create a deal, offer, invoice or even to add an event based on a contact directly from the context menu.

If you need to edit or delete several contacts simultaneously, simply mark them and perform the required action.
