# Actions

FieldEdge's Actions menu is a key feature for taking additional actions on a person's profile. From editing tags to changing priority level to RSVPing to an event – the Action menu is the place to do it.

## Contact Methods

When logging a contact via the Actions menu — or as part of a [Canvass walk](/product-tour-or-mobile-app/canvass.md) or [Call Time](/product-tour-or-mobile-app/call-time.md) session — you'll record both how you reached the person (the **contact method**) and what happened (the **contact status**).

### Methods

| Method        | When it's used                                   |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **In Person** | Door-to-door canvassing or face-to-face meetings |
| **Phone**     | Phone calls made during Call Time or manually    |
| **Email**     | Email outreach                                   |
| **Mail**      | Physical mail or literature drops                |

The contact method is set automatically in context — **In Person** during canvass walks, **Phone** during call time sessions. When logging a contact from the Actions menu on a profile, you choose the method manually.

### Statuses

After picking a method, choose a status describing what happened (Answered, No Answer, Refused, and so on). Available statuses are configured per user type in [App Customization](/product-tour-or-hq/app-customization.md) — see the Contact Statuses table there for the full list.

All logged contacts sync to NationBuilder in real time and appear in the contact's [Activity tab](/product-tour-or-mobile-app/people/profile.md#activity-tab).
