# Features — contacts (FTI Consulting Intranet Contacts v2.2)

Evidence date: 2026-10-18.

Source: `git@bitbucket.org:overdrive/contacts.git`, `master` at `c1b9e91` (2020-12-11).

There is no features list in the source repository. Status below is from the pages that the menus actually open, unless a row says the file is unlinked.

Legend: **Current** means the page is reachable from the frames and performs the behaviour. **Unused in navigation** means the file is in the tree and no other page links to it. **Removed from the live page** means the current page has the behaviour commented out while an older copy may still contain it.

## Completed features

Git history cannot separate completed work from the rest of the product. The single commit contains the whole tree. These items are completed inside that snapshot, based on comments that describe a finished change:

| Feature | Evidence | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Twitter Handle label | Comment dated 20130128 on `admin_contact.asp` and `contactdetail.asp`. The label is "Twitter Handle". The column is still `strCarReg` | **Current** label on the live pages |
| Last-user and last-edit columns | `admin_tools.asp` adds them if missing. `admin_contact.asp` and `admin_publication.asp` write them | **Current** |
| ODBC Driver 17 connection | Active line in `sql_connect.asp`. The `{sql server}` / `reddb02` line is commented | **Current** connection. Previous driver is **Removed from the live page** |

## Planned features

No TODO, roadmap, or ticket file describes future work.

These comments describe behaviour that was considered and is not active:

| Item | Evidence | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Admin shell restricted to type 47 | Commented `if` in `admin.asp` and a commented redirect on the lookup pages | **Removed from the live page**. Server-side `blnAdmin` still blocks Save and Delete |
| Contact switchboard and fax stored on the contact | Commented assignments in the `admin_contact.asp` update and insert | **Removed from the live page**. The Journalist tab reads those values from the publication. The printer layout still reads `tblContact.strSwitchboard` and `tblContact.strFax` |
| Block user delete when queries exist | `intQueryCount` increment is commented in `admin_user.asp`. The code deletes the queries and then the user | **Removed from the live page** |
| Save buttons disabled for some query edits | Commented `disabled` attributes in `rpt_custom_1.asp` and `editCriteria.asp` | **Removed from the live page** |
| Top menu without Admin for type 33 | Commented `case 33` in `topmenu.asp` | **Removed from the live page**. Type 33 now shares the Admin link with type 47 |

Nothing else is marked as planned.
