Partner Autocomplete helps you to enrich your contacts database with corporate data. Select one of
6-
the companies suggested in the dropdown, and quickly get all the information you need.
5+
*Partner autocomplete* enriches the contacts database with corporate data. In any module, enter the
6+
new company name into the :guilabel:`Customer` field (`partner_id` technical field), and select one
7+
of the companies suggested in the drop-down menu. Instantly get valuable company information full of
8+
hard-to-find data for a desired company.
9+
10+
.. important::
11+
A company **cannot** already be manually entered in the *Contacts* application prior to enriching
12+
it with data.
13+
14+
The information provided by partner autocomplete can include general information about the business
15+
(including full business name and logo), social media accounts, :guilabel:`Company type`,
16+
:guilabel:`Founded` information, :guilabel:`Sectors` information, the number of
17+
:guilabel:`Employees`, :guilabel:`Estimated revenue`, :guilabel:`Phone` number,
18+
:guilabel:`Timezone`, and :guilabel:`Technologies Used`.
19+
20+
.. important::
21+
When getting a company's contact information make sure to be aware of the latest EU regulations.
22+
For more information about General Data Protection Regulation refer to: `Odoo GDPR
23+
<http://odoo.com/gdpr>`_. In Odoo, individual contact information cannot be searched for with
24+
the partner autocomplete feature.
