Review address book contacts

Address book contacts store wallet labels so you can look up and reuse addresses across workflows. Open a contact detail page to verify the saved wallet address, copy it into another workflow, or correct the entry before use.

The record is only an address book entry. Reviewing it before use prevents operator mistakes, but it does not bypass checks: asset transactions still run their configured identity, compliance, role, freeze, approval, and wallet-verification checks regardless.

The diagram shows the address book review path only. A copied contact address still has to pass the checks required by the asset operation that uses it.

Before you start

You need:

• access to Contacts in the Console
• a saved contact in the active environment
• permission to edit or delete contacts if you need to change the entry

Contacts are convenience records owned by the signed-in operator. The asset operation still enforces all configured checks (identity, compliance, freeze, role, and approval) when you submit the transaction.

Review a contact

1. Open Contacts.
2. Select the contact you want to review.
3. Check the contact name and wallet address on the detail page.
4. Copy the wallet address if you need to paste it into another workflow.
5. Review the created and updated timestamps when you need to confirm whether the entry was recently changed.

The detail page reads live contact data after the route loads, so saved edits appear on the page without forcing you back to the list. If the contact no longer exists, for example because it was deleted, DALP returns you to the Contacts list. If the entry still exists but the page cannot load it, DALP keeps the URL and shows an error with a Try again button. You can reload the same record without losing your place.

What to check

The basic information card shows the fields that matter before reuse:

A contact is not proof that the address can receive a regulated asset. Before you submit an asset operation, verify the recipient, role, identity, compliance, and approval requirements in that operation.

Edit a contact

Use Edit from the basic information card when the saved name or wallet address needs to change. The edit sheet opens on the contact detail page with the current name and wallet address filled in.

1. Change the contact name or wallet address.
2. Save the form.
3. Confirm the detail page shows the updated value before reusing the contact.

After the save succeeds, DALP refreshes the detail page and updates Contacts and global search. If the save fails, leave the entry unchanged and use the error reference from the Console when you ask for support.

Delete a contact

Use Delete only when the contact should no longer be reused from the address book. DALP asks you to confirm the deletion before removing the entry.

After you confirm the deletion, DALP removes the entry, refreshes Contacts and global search results, and returns you to the Contacts list. Deleting a contact does not affect token balances, identities, claims, transfer approvals, custody rules, or past transaction records.
