== Adding Contacts ==

To search for a contact, ~~you can simply put their~~ name in the ~~chat window~~ and ~~auto~~-~~link a~~ character. You can also use the ~~search tab~~ at the top of the ~~"Contacts"~~ window ~~by selecting Character under Search Type~~ and then ~~searching~~ the name~~. This will give you~~ the ~~ability~~ to ~~right click on the link and select~~ "Add Contact".

To search for a contact, click on the "Search" tab at the top-center of the "Contacts" window and then enter the character's name in the search box below, and hit enter. Once you see the character that you are searching for, listed below the search box, right-click on the character's name, and click "Add Contact". You can also use the "Search for anything" box, at the top left of the game window, to search for a character, and then right-click the character's name in the "Search Results" window, to add contact, as before.

*Note: You can similarly block pilots by clicking "Block", instead of "Add Contact", in the right-click menu, after clicking their character name.

*Note: ~~You can block pilots in a similar fashion with the "Block" selection~~.

After adding a contact, the "Contact Management" window will pop up, where you can choose a personal standing for that character.

~~Once that is accomplished it~~ will ~~bring~~ up ~~an information window~~ where you can ~~apply your own personal notes to the character and apply~~ a personal standing.

* Note: Corporate standings will override any personal standings you have with pilots in chat and the overview. So no worries about accidentally losing a war target because you set them to neutral.

Personal Notes: This is where you can place a description of who you think they are and why you placed them in a particular status. As you meet more people in EVE Online, this will become more and more useful.

There are also 2 check boxes that offer additional options:
