Step 8 - Contact - Liabilities
- Matthew Garrett
The Liabilities tab allows users to enter the contact's current liabilities.
Selecting Joint Owners
If you have added other client contacts on the Contacts tab, they will appear in the Joint Owners list. Before clicking the right-arrow button to add a liability, double-click a contact in the Joint Owners list to indicate that a liability is jointly owned.
A tick next to the contact in the Joint Owners list means that when a liability is added, the contacts with a tick will also have a link to the liability.
Adding a Liability

- Click the right-arrow button (
