Customize the Contact Detail Page
Opening a contact drops you into a three-panel workspace: contact info on the left, conversations/activity in the center, action modules on the right.
Everyday conveniences
- Auto-save — edits save the moment you leave a field (toggleable).
- Keyboard navigation — arrow keys jump between contacts, Esc collapses panels, Ctrl+S forces a manual save.
- Hide Empty Fields — cut visual clutter.
- Search within the record.
- Remembered preferences — remembers which panels/tabs you had open.
Building a custom layout (admins)
- Go to Contacts > Smart Lists, three-dot menu, Settings > Customize Contact Detail View.
- Click + Add View, name it, assign to specific users (up to 5 views per account).
- Customize sections: contact card, left panel, center panel, right panel, dynamic tab.
- Choose an overall layout: default three-panel or a simpler two-panel view.
- Review the live preview and save.
Only admins can create views; each user is assigned to exactly one view at a time.
