Restoring a client in the Address Book
All clients in Billings are stored as contact records in Address Book. If you accidentally delete a contact record in your Address Book, you will see a lightening bolt icon against that client name when you next open Billings. This is because Billings uses the contact information in the Address Book in many scenarios (such as sending estimates, invoices, statements, etc); hence, it warns you about the client being deleted in the Address Book.
At this point, if you think you don't need the client and associated projects anymore, you can delete the client in Billings. You should always back up a copy of your Billings database before deleting a client, in case you ever need to review that client's projects. Otherwise, if you think you need the client, you can also restore the client in the Address Book.
To restore a client in the Address Book
- In Billings, select a client.
