Introduction

The [Contacts] table contains the full list of contacts for the print shop. You can manage the customers details from this workspace.

In order for the new contact to be able to submit a job or to monitor the status of a job, the contact has to activate the customer account. Use the [Send activation request] function to send the invitation email.
