How do I create a new Organization record?

Organizations are similar to contacts except an organization record may or may not have a contact. Once an organization has been created you can also associate multiple contacts to the organization.

You can easily add or update organization information from within the record. Each organization record also provides access to all of that organization’s interactions with your office. This includes all open and closed correspondence and casework, as well as any contacts, notes, or codes you may have applied.

NOTE: Any records created in a case where the organization is not the primary contact will not display in the organization’s record.
