Note

The supplier import currently uses the general contact importer. It does not set Supplier automatically. Import a Booker category to keep the imported contact in this list, or open the imported contact in Contacts and change its category to Supplier. See the import article for accepted category values.

Contact details

Selecting an item opens its details next to the list on a wide screen. On a phone the details replace the list. See Contact.
