The Organization Contacts dataset comes with each provisioned Slate instance, and offers a built-out dataset to store contact information at Organizations. The query base for Organization Contacts has been updated over time to ensure greater efficiency and accuracy. The older version of the Organization Contacts query base connects the organization contact with the organization when they have a CEEB in common, whereas the newer version of the query base provides all organization contact record data and joins in the related organization if provided. For this reason, the newer version of the Organization Contacts query base should be used going forward, as it offers more dynamic functionality and helps ensure against orphaned Organization Contacts records.
