Applying Team Security

This is a feature that ensures the anonymity of the Client or Contact outside the Team. When the box is selected, any employee outside the Team will not find the Client or Contact even from the Find Clients or Contact window. You need sufficient permissions in order to select this check box.

On the example below, only the users: Regina, Lucy, Gabriel and Helena are going to have access to this client or contact.
