Contact
Bright Pattern Contact Center stores information for all contacts, including both the users in your contact center and the external people and organizations that users interact with, on the Agent Desktop application. This information can be accessed in the Agent Desktop application's Contacts section, or in the Active Conversation List's directory. Contact information is displayed in the contact details, activities, calendar events, and cases associated with each contact.
Contact information populates the various fields that are created in Contact forms. The forms are configured in the Contact Center Administrator application, while the form fields are edited in the Form Builder application.
Working with Contact Forms
To create or edit a form, select the Contact option from the root menu of Contact Center Administrator (Configuration > Forms > Contact). The left pane will list the existing forms. Note that forms configured for your contact center are listed in this application, but they are built and edited in the Form Builder application.
For more information about creating forms, see the Form Builder Reference Guide.
Note: Some service configuration changes that affect agent behavior are not picked up dynamically by Agent Desktop. Thus, after making any changes to contact forms, we recommend that all affected logged-in agents refresh their browser page.

The Contact Detail form includes all available information for a person or organization, such as first and last name, title, home/mobile/fax number, email address, physical address, company information, and summary.
