- Select a contact and click History above the list to the right.
Review contact activity
Use the tabs across the upper part of the page to access information about this contact's involvement and participation in your organization's activities. The contact's participation in various activities is tracked, and you can use this information to ensure that contacts are properly engaged and meeting any requirements that your organization might have established as conditions of "active" membership. If a member has been disengaged, you can use this data to encourage him or her to take a more active role.
