Contacts overview
What is the contacts section used for?
The Contacts section lets you manage three types of people:
-
Customers – Paying adults responsible for memberships
-
Leads – Interested prospects who haven’t signed up for a trial or membership yet
-
Participants – Anyone enrolled in a trial, event, or membership
You can customize columns, filter views, and adjust how many entries appear per page in all sections.
What is a customer?
-
A customer is either:
- The primary person on the account, usually responsible for payments (for themselves or for a child).
- An additional user: someone attached to the primary account who has access to the participant’s progress, making registrations, etc.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Can I change the order of the columns?
Yes. In every contacts section, you can reorder the columns by clicking on the columns setting button in the upper right corner of the page and dragging the columns in the order you prefer. You can also drag and drop them from the table directly.
Each section (Customers, Leads, Trials, Memberships, Events) has different column options based on what matters for that group.
How do I search for someone?

Can I add a customer?
At this time, adding customers into the system can only be done from V1 by either registering a participant or adding them as an additional user under a primary customer.
