Better contact forms

We have been using the 'Contacts' options to add customers into applications, but we are missing a few very important fields. We are now wondering if we should use a combination of 'Contact' and 'App' to add these fields, or just stop using the 'Contacts' app (which makes things a bit complicated) and just make our own contact app.

The fields missing are: Gender, First/Last name, things like Mr. etc. And the ability to add them to an organisation.

If we choose  to stop using the contacts part and make a complete app for it, are we missing out on something I am not thinking of now?

  Hey Riel, 

  I would make my own Contacts app for this to be honest. It will work better for you with the specification you have.

  Thank you. I just wondered I would miss out some feature then but I think this is easier for us. Only think is small fields will be all in a vertical orientation (house number, postal code) and we might like it next to each other, but that is cosmetic and  in the end, we can make it work.

  I would then build a "master" Contacts app and have that sitting in some kind of Data workspace. Then use App References to connect to this Contacts app from the other workspaces. 

  Hope that helps,

  It's frustrating. I can add a contact to a workspace. But then I can only view it, there's no edit. Sorry guys, after a year of more of using Podio I am confused.

  Hey Kamil,
