In
ContactsLaw, opening or navigating to a
contact will cause a new tab to be added to the top of the screen. A
contact tab allows you to switch between contacts while working, and provides a home for the various lists, ledgers and summary information about the contact. All operations that can be performed on the contact are accessed from the contact's tab. Additionally,
files for which the contact is the
client will open under the tab.
The tab will use the contact's file-as name as its caption, and an appropriate icon will be displayed (depending on the [[list of contact types|type of contact). Clicking on the tab while it is active will display a drop-down menu of any files open under it. Closing a contact tab unloads the information from memory.
