    • Full Access users can see all Jobs and Contacts, whether or not they have been assigned to those records.
    • Limited Access users can only see Contacts/Jobs they are assigned to or the Sales Rep of. If you decide to enable Groups, then Limited Access users who are Group leaders will also be able to see Jobs/Contacts assigned to the team members in their Group.

      • Record Access gives you the option to allow team members different levels of access to different types of records:
        1. No Access: The user cannot see the records, even if they are assigned to the Contact
        2. View: The user can see the records, but not edit them in any way
        3. Create & Edit: The user can see, create and edit records
        4. Delete: The user can see, create, edit, and delete records

    3. Company Documents:documents that are not attached to a specific Contact or Job, but uploaded within the Documents tab under your profile icon/initials in the top right corner.
      1. Note: Enable this feature by going to Settings Features > toggle the switch next to Company Documents.
    4. Budgets: Budgets and commissions located under the Financials tab of a Contact or Job.
