Screens:Person

Edit all person records, including all contacts, employees, and Epiphany users.

Epiphany uses central Person table for all people used in the system, regardless of their type or purpose. A single person entry on this screen can represent a contact, a customer, a vendor, an employee, and an Epiphany User Account all at the same time. It is strongly recommended that you have only a single person record for every real person.

This screen contains a large number of tabs, representing both additional database information that can be completed for the person and common historical information about the person, like AR/AP/Inventory history.
