There are 3 different standard fields that can be used to associate '''contacts''' with a Level 1 entity:
# Owner
# Person
# Contacts
# Person
There are also 2 standard fields that can be used to associate '''accounts''' with a Level 1 entity:
The Owner Field can also be configured to allow external owners, as well as internal. This can be enabled in the UTA Application Configuration section, in the Level 1 settings section.
 
 
==The Person Field==
 
The '''Person''' field also allows you to make an additional direct relationship between any contact and the [[Level 1 Entity]]. The '''Person''' field does not allow assignment by role.

For example, if the [[Level 1 Entity]] is a “research project” and you anticipate multiple project leaders over time, you would be better to use the contacts section as you could then track the start and end dates along with other information. If you use the '''Owner''' field you would not be able to track information around the individual project manager’s engagement with the project.
==''The Person Field==fields that are visible in the Contacts section can be controlled using the '''Contact List View''' on the UTA Settings page in the Level 1 settings section''
The '''Person''' field also allows you to make an additional direct relationship between a contact and the [[Level 1 Entity]]. The '''Person''' field does not allow assignment by role.

==The Accounts Field==
Using the previous example, if the [[Level 1 Entity]] is a “project” and you need multiple project partners (companies), then you would use the '''Accounts''' feature to track the accounts and specific information about their engagement.
Contacts associated with an associated account can be indirectly associated with the Level 1 itemvia the Account field. This is  ''The fields that are visible in the Accounts section can be controlled through using the '''Account List View''' on the Security Matrix feature.UTA Settings page in the Level 1 settings section''
