Linked |
The entity's linked phone (if applicable). Note that, typically, employees in large organizations have a ”r;linked” phone number to their organization’s phone number. All linked phone numbers are automatically updated when the primary phone number is changed. This update eliminates the need to update each individual record. When adding or updating a record, selecting this checkbox and saving the record activates the Parent Phone dropdown list. A non-selected checkbox means that the phone number is specific to the individual (e.g., a person’s home phone number). |
