Search

The Contacts Search page allows you to search all stored contacts in your contact center, as well as manage contact entries, view contact details, navigate to activity history, and browse cases.

Clicking on any contact's name in the list of contacts will open the Details form for that contact, which displays all contact information available for that individual person.

Searching Contacts and Cases

You may search contacts and cases for the following information.

Company

Company names may be searched for either whole or in part; the search recognizes individual words. To search for a company by name, enter company: XXX. Note: XXX represents the name of the company.

Date of Birth

You may search for the date of birth of a contact in your local date format. For example, in the US, the local date format is DD/MM/YYYY. To search for a specific date of birth, enter dob: DD/MM/YYYY.

Email

If you are familiar with a case or customer's email address, you may search for it. In the example shown, entering the complete email address in the search string input field returns all matches in the system. Additionally, entering the search tag email: XXX, will search email fields specifically. Note: XXX represents an email address.
