Take me there: My Player Contacts

#Add a contact

  1. Open My Player Contacts and choose Add Contact.

    The Add Contact window opens.

    The Add Contact window with name, email and phone fields, type, role and lifecycle stage menus, tags and address fields.
    Add Contact.
  2. Type a First Name. It is the only required field. Add a Last Name, Email and Phone if you have them.

    The basics are filled in.

  3. Optionally set the Contact Type, Contact Role and Lifecycle Stage (see the table below), plus Stakeholder Role, Company and Industry.

    The contact is classified.

  4. Optionally add Tags (separated by commas, for example vip, regular, trivia-fan) and an Address. The address is geocoded when you save, which means Gig Game works out its map position.

    The extra details are stored.

  5. Choose Save Contact.

    The person appears in your list.
