SMS/800 Resp Org Contacts
Main Help Page

SMS/800 provides a list of Resp Org Primary and Change contacts to allow one Resp Org owner to contact another. This contact list is normally only viewable at the SMS/800 web site (not the SMS/800 user interface). 8MS stores a snapshot of this contact data to allow easy access to the data from within 8MS. This snapshot is updated on a regularly scheduled basis. The SMS/800 Contacts function provides user access to this contact information.

The data displayed on this screen is controlled by SMS/800, not 8MS. All change requests related to this data should be made to SMS/800.

In the menu frame, select the SMS/800 Contacts link located in the System Activity section of the menu. The screen is divided into three frames. The top frame allows you to specify the search criteria for the contacts you want. This section appears as follows:

The Last Updated field indicates the last time this data was updated from SMS/800.

The following is a description of the search criteria:

Field Description
Name allows you to search by the contact's first and last name. Names do not have to be fully specified; a partial spelling of the name may be entered. Any names matching the partial name entered will be returned.
Company allows you to search by the contact's company name. The company name does not have to be fully specified; a partial spelling of the company may be entered. Any companies matching the partial company name entered will be returned.
RespOrg allows you to search by the contact's Resp Org. The RespOrg field does not have to be fully specified; a partial spelling of the RespOrg may be entered. Any RespOrgs matching the partial RespOrg will be returned.
Contact Type This drop-down allows you to filter the list for Primary, Change or All contacts.

Once the search criteria have been specified, the search is initiated by selecting the button. The results appear in the middle frame as shown below.

When records are displayed, the Sort By drop-down is used to control the order of the results. By default, results are ordered by Name. They may also be ordered by Company or Resp Org.

Selecting any item in a row will display the detail for that contact. A detail record appears in the bottom frame as shown below.

The button puts the search screen back to it's original state, as if you had just selected the SMS/800 Contacts link. The results section will not be cleared so that you may still view your last search results.
