Maximum 50 characters. This is a unique lookup field that can be used to store the organization associated with an individual contact.

When adding an individual contact, the Organization field is optional and blank by default. When adding an organization contact, the Organization field defaults to the Contact ID and is disabled. This is because an individual can be associated with an organization, but an organization may not be associated with another organization.

The field is a free-form lookup field for individual contacts. You can leave it blank, or use it to enter a unique organization, select an organization that was previously entered for another contact, or select an existing organization contact to be associated with the individual contact. As characters are entered in the Organization field, the field will autofill based on the information entered. Also, a list of existing Organization field entries matching the characters entered will be displayed, allowing you to easily select the entry you want to complete the field. There is no lookup button for this field.

When an existing organization contact is selected in the Organization field, the information in the business fields of the organization contact will automatically fill the business fields of the individual contact. The automatically filled fields include: Business Address, Business Phone, Business 2 Phone, Business Fax, and Web Page.

Tip: To view all contacts associated with a certain organization, open the Contact file lookup window. Select the Organization column header to sort the window by the contents of the Organization field, and then begin typing the name of the organization. This will open an incremental search window, allowing you to quickly scroll to the list of contacts who are associated with the organization.
