10 steps to improve Contacts in OS X El Capitan

Suggested contacts

Mail in El Capitan detects when you receive new information for a contact, so you can update the contact card from inside the email app. It also identifies when new people make contact. You may find contact info in your Contacts application that, when opened, identifies itself as “found in Mail." (You can disable this feature in Contacts>Preferences>General and untick Show contacts found in Mail.)

Add fields

Fields in Contacts are quite useful. Launch Contacts Preferences and choose Template. Using the Add Field drop down menu lets you add fields (sic) to your Contacts. For example, Twitter handles for contacts aren’t enabled by default but you can change that, just select Twitter in the drop down list.
