The Actions Menu

The Actions menu appears in the record's side panel as an orange button to the right of the Key Entity's name. Selecting the Actions menu button will open a list of available actions on your Household or Organization record. 

The options available for both Households, Organizations and Individuals are broadly the same, with naming differences and changes in availability.

The action options displayed will also vary depending upon if the Key Entity is a Prospect or a Client record within your organization.
