The Contacts report located in the Export - Sidebar (web application) allows users to create custom report(s) that show the contact information that was entered by reps/users into the Lilypad system for each account. 

NOTE: Distributor rep contact information can also be pulled using this report. However, unlike manually entered Account Contacts, Distributor Rep contacts can either be manually entered or reported by the Distributor through their route files being sent to Lilypad.
