Deactivating and deleting a Contact
You can deactivate or delete a Contact. Deactivation prevents a Contact from receiving Mailings, but keeps the Contact in an Address Book so that you still have access to the Contact’s profile and Mailing response history. Removal permanently deletes the Contact from an Address Book (and the system).
Before you begin
To deactivate or delete a Contact, you need Contact Management rights and Write permissions for the Address Book.
