Proponent Contacts

Contacts record people associated with the proponent. They support communication, review coordination, and agreement administration.

Fields

Field	Rule
Name	Required contact name.
Email	Required when the contact should receive operational correspondence.
Phone and extension	Optional business phone details.
Title and bilingual job title	Use when role context matters to reviews or approvals.
Language preference	English or French.
Primary account	Indicates the main contact when the proponent has multiple contacts.

Business Rules

Rule	Behaviour
Contacts belong to the proponent	Do not use proponent contacts as reusable system users.
Primary contact should be unique by convention	The UI does not replace business judgment; maintain one current primary contact unless the organization requires otherwise.
Language preference drives communication expectations	Keep it current for bilingual service obligations.
Deletes are soft deletes	Removed contacts are hidden from active use but preserved for history.

Operating Guidance

Create at least one reliable contact before reviews or agreements begin. Update contact information when staff change so reviewers and agreement officers can reach the correct person.
