Account and Contact Relationship

All Contact records should be associated with an Account. Use either an existing Account or create a new Account first, then add the contact.

Creating a Contact without an Account means the contact will be private. Private contacts are visible only to the person that created them and the System Administrator. Private contacts will not be displayed in reports.
