==Standard People Fields==
 
The standard fields used to describe a person are:
* '''Phone/Extension''' - Direct line for the person and their extension.
* '''E-mail''' - E-mail address. An email address is required to allow a user to log into the system.
* '''Primary Contact''' - Check box to indicate if this person is the primary contact at the organisation.* '''Organisation''' - The organisation to which this person should be associated. Changing the organisation will “move’ that person to another organisation.
* '''Address''' - Street of the person – if different from their organisation.
* '''Address 2''' - Additional address line
