Carry Over Buttons

When entering a lot of records that share the same information, you can use the Carry Over buttons to have the program 'remember' the data that was entered for the previous Contact. That data will be used for the next Contact, unless you choose otherwise.   Carry Over buttons are the small vertical buttons that appear to the right of some of the fields. To set the Carry Over button on a field, depress the button.
