This article outlines steps on how to create a new contact and the different types of contacts
A Contact can be created either from the General > Overview > Contacts > + section of an entity or from Affiliations > New. A new page will pull up with 6 tabs to input data on the Contact.

2. Addresses
Click on + Address to select an address for the contact. If none exists in the application, click on + New, enter the address information and click on Create.
3. Roles
In this tab, click on + Add role to select what type of role the contact has either as an Alternate Contact, Billing Contact, Contact, etc. If they have a custom title, create a new title in the Custom Title field or leave it blank if not applicable. Enter the Effective Date and move to the next tab or click on + Roles to add additional roles they play if applicable.
