The Contacts and Properties tabs on the main navigation bar in Alto both share the same look and feel. If you click either of these tabs, you'll see a list of Recent & Favourite Contacts/Properties on the left hand side of the screen, and the last accessed contact or property will be shown on the right hand (larger) part of the screen.
Contacts and Properties in Alto also have an Overview section, accessed from the side menu. The Overview shows important basic information with the option to click through to see more details.
For example, on a Contacts Overview, you'll see the number of properties they have viewed and if you click on the tile, it'll take you to a list of those viewings.

Searching for Contacts/Properties
- Click Contacts/Properties on the main navigation bar
- If you've recently been on the contact/property record, you can select it from Recent & Favourite Contacts/Properties. Otherwise, find the contact/property using the Search Contacts/Properties bar in the top right
These options would replace Person - Find person and Property - Find property in Vebra/Encore Live.
In Alto, if you click in to either search bar, it will trigger some search instructions to help you find the contact or property you are looking for.
For a contact, you can enter the:
- Name
- Telephone number
- Email address
- Contact address
- A combination of the above
For a property, you can enter the:
- Address (or any part of the address)
- Vendor or Landlord name
- A combination of the two
As you type, suggestions will be displayed which match your search. When you click one of the contacts or properties found, you'll be taken to their contact/property record and they'll display in your Recent & Favourite Contacts/Properties.
