Add a Contact to a Household
Search First!!!
When adding a new contact, always search first!
1. Found Contact
If you find the contact, great! You can add the husband, wife, child or other family member into the household.
Click on the Household Name and skip to Step 3
2. Not Found? Create New
We saw in last week's lesson how to create a new contact.
We also saw that every time a new contact is created, a new household is created at the same time, with the contact's name + Household.
All the details, please
The more you fill in now, the better the overall data quality will be. Studies show that people rarely come BACK to a contact to fill in all the details!
