Accounts and Contacts
List screen title: Accounts (or Contacts, depending on company setup)
Browser title: Accounts
Main address: /contacts/
Add screen: Add Account / Add Contact — /contacts/add_new_account/
Edit / Update screen: Update Account / Update Contact — /contacts/edit/<id>/
This is the core CRM screen. Use it to find accounts, filter and map them, run bulk actions, add new accounts, and open an account to manage people (contacts), phones, emails, notes, tasks, opportunities, event forms, and activity.
Navigation: People Icon Hover →Accounts
Important naming (read first)
| Term in CallProof | What it means |
|---|---|
| Account | A company / customer record on the main list (/contacts/). Most companies with the People/Accounts setup use this word.
|
| Contact (person) | A person who works at that account (also called personnel). Managed on the account’s Contacts tab. |
| Contact (older naming) | On some companies without the Accounts/People setup, the main list may say Contacts instead of Accounts. The address is still /contacts/.
|
| Account Type | Category of the account (same idea as Contact Type / Account Types setup elsewhere). |
| Company | Parent company name linked to the account (also managed under Companies). |
This guide uses Account for the main record and Contact for people at that account. Where the UI says Contacts for the list, the steps are the same.
How the pieces fit together
| Screen | Address | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Accounts list | /contacts/
|
Search, filter, select, map, bulk actions, open account |
| Add Account | /contacts/add_new_account/
|
Create account (+ optional contact, task, opportunity) |
| Update Account | /contacts/edit/<id>/
|
Full account hub: Info, Details, Event Forms, Notes, Appointments, Tasks, Opportunities, Contacts |
| Companies | /contact_companies/
|
Company directory (Quick Links) |
| Do Not Call | via Quick Links | Manage DNC phones |
| Labels | via Quick Links | Manage account labels |
| Import / Export | via Quick Links | Bring accounts in or export filtered results |
Typical flow:
- Filter or search on Accounts

- Managers often see Sales Rep assignment controls and extra bulk actions.

| Action | Purpose | Typical requirement |
|---|---|---|

Why bulk actions matter: They keep territory assignment, types, tasks, and routing consistent across many accounts without opening each one.
Map view, Lasso, and routes
When map view is available:
- Switch to the map (from the list map controls).
- Pins show filtered accounts with locations.
- Use Lasso to draw around accounts on the map.
- From the lasso popup: Create Route or More Actions (same family of bulk tools).
- Use row Add Route icons or map selection, then Save Route when the route count shows selected stops.
- Hide Map returns to the table.
Notes:
- Accounts without latitude/longitude cannot be added to a route from the list icon.
- Distance on the list uses your user profile location when set.
- Large filters + map may take longer to load.
Why list Add / Edit / Delete matter
| Action | Purpose | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Add Account | Create a new customer/company record (and optionally first contact, task, opportunity). | New prospect or customer win. |
| Edit / Update | Maintain the full account hub and history. | Day-to-day selling and data cleanup. |
| Delete | Permanently remove an account record. | True duplicates or bad imports — prefer merge/cleanup when unsure. |
| Filter + Export | Get the right working set, then download it. | Territory reviews, manager audits, offline analysis. |
| Account Actions | Reassign, retag, task, route, or message many accounts at once. | Territory changes, campaigns, weekly planning. |

- Click the account name to open Update Account.
Call or text from the list
- Find the account’s Phone Number column.
- Click the call icon (soft call / client call when enabled).
- Or click the text icon to open SMS (blocked if Do Not Text).
- Do Not Call numbers are struck through — do not call those lines.
Add a note quickly
- On the list, click Add Notes for the row.
Or open the account → Notes → Add Notes.
Reassign many accounts to a new rep
- Filter to the territory/set you need.
- Check the accounts.
- Account Actions → Add accounts to Sales Rep (or Remove…).
- Choose the rep → confirm.
Build a route for today’s visits
- Filter nearby accounts (or use Map + Lasso).
- Add accounts to the route (row map icon or lasso Create Route).
- Click Save Route when ready.
- Continue in Routes as your company process requires.
Create account + first contact together
- Add Account.
- Complete Step 1 (required).
- Check Step 2 Contact and fill person details.
- Optionally add Task / Opportunity.
- Save.
Keep Account Type consistent
- Select accounts with the wrong type.
- Account Actions → Change Account Type.
- Or open one account → Info → Account Type → Update.
Tips and important notes
- Accounts = companies/customers on the list; Contacts = people on the Contacts tab (in Accounts/People mode).
- Always set Company Name, Account Type, and a good Address so map, distance, and filters work.
- Assign Sales Reps so reps only see the right book of business.
- Use Labels for campaigns and temporary working sets; filter by Label later.
- Prefer Account Actions over one-by-one edits for territory moves.
- Import/Export live under Quick Links; export after you apply the filter you want.
- Do Not Call / Do Not Text must be respected — struck-through or grey SMS icons mean do not contact that way.
- Delete is permanent for the account; use carefully (duplicates tools may exist elsewhere).
- Custom fields and Activity Stats appear only when enabled for your company.
- After major Info changes (address/type/reps), re-check map pins and filters.
Need help?
- Cannot find an account: clear filters, widen Max Results, search company name or account number
- No phones / cannot call: add a phone; confirm Twilio permissions; check Do Not Call
- Map empty: accounts need address geocoding (lat/long); filter may exclude them
- Contacts tab empty: Add Contacts (people) under the account
- Wrong rep seeing accounts: fix Sales Reps on Info or use Account Actions
- Import issues: use Import Account / Import Account 2 from Quick Links and follow the sample CSV
- Other issues: email support@callproof.com
