Explanation and Purpose of the Address Book
The Address Book is where extendedReach stores all contact information for Cases and Homes. Each agency maintains a centrally located Address Book to allow for simplicity and accuracy when updating contact information. This also allows staff to view all clients who are associated with a particular contact.
Accessing the Address Book
From your Workspace, the Address Book is found within Resources under Summaries on the left side of the screen, otherwise knows as the Side Menu.

Adding a Contact into the Address Book
A User who wishes to Add a Contact must have the appropriate Security Settings to do so. To allow access, an Agency Administrator will check “Manage Address Book” option under Security within a User ID.
From the Address Book, Click on “Add Contact”.

When searching for a contact, you can narrow your search by first selecting a category. From there, you will place a check-mark next to the contact you want to link to this Client’s Case File or the Home.

The linked relationship you’ve created, between the case or the home and the contact, now appears on the People Screen.
If there is a small book icon next to the contact name, this contact comes from the Address Book.
