Contacts Information Block

Some items coming in from customers may be organized for team use according the the purpose.
Each contact entry will list the contact type, contact information, purpose, and whether it is OK to solicit the account through that specific contact type. Clicking the [Update] button will allow you to edit these fields for the selected contact channel, clicking the [Expire] button will remove the contact information from the account.
