Transact

- Select the desired option and then click the Next button to continue selecting information for the Transaction. On the next Pane, select the Contact for the Transaction.
- Use the Search field to find the contact, or scroll to find the Contact. (Note: Users can click on the Magnifying Glass icon to select to search by either Sort Name or Last Name).
- If the Contact has not yet been added, use the Add icon to add a new Contact.
Once the Contact is found or added, highlight the name in the list and select the Arrow icon next to Ship From: and Ship To:
- Click the Finish button when complete and the new Transaction will appear on the screen where users can edit and save the final Transaction.
