- You’ve recently noticed some issues with contacts that Ed Roberts has added to the firm. You want to search for all New Contact tickets initiated by Ed Roberts between June 30 and July 15.

Why Would the Data Change Management Inbox - By Contact View Be Blank?
By default, the Data Change Management Inbox - By Contact view displays a list of all contacts with open tickets assigned to you or a group of which you are a member. If you change the view to display tickets for a particular folder or saved search, only open tickets for contacts in those folders or searches display.
If the Data Change Management - By Contact view is blank, it means there are no open tickets for contacts in the current view or you do not have access to tickets that meet the criteria. For example, if you change the view to display open tickets for a particular marketing list and no tickets display, that means that no contacts in that folder have open tickets or you do not have rights to access those tickets.
