The Main tab contains a number of default settings which apply to the Contacts and Relationship module:

You can select the default Salutation to be used, either formal, casual or other. If other is selected, you have the opportunity to enter a Salutation.
Organisation and Contact Hierarchy Display
Greentree Desktop displays the Organisation hierarchy chart on the Organisation and Contact Maintenance forms. If you have a great number of Contacts per Organisation then you can turn this display off. The settings on the Module Control Main tab allow you to toggle these settings.
Location-Organisation Relationship
The Location-Organisation Relationship determines whether there is a link between the Organisation and a Location. If so, whether the link allows for one or multiple Organisations to be linked to a Location.
During Location Maintenance, you can select the Primary Organisation, and other valid Organisations for the Locations. This setting determines which of these fields is available during Location Maintenance.

You can also indicate how Greentree should manage the source file. Select the Attachments link to view detail on the Internal and External save of Attachments.
