Contacts

Contacts represent either persons or companies. If you click on the Contacts tab, you basically get an address database. Please be aware that the people you find here may or may not be users of your Feng Office installation - read understanding the difference between users and contacts for details.

Persons may belong to a company (but they don't have to). Companies on the other hand may have many users and contacts (but they don't have to).
