Explanation:
'Hangen' in this context means 'connected to', but I would'd translate it directly here. If you really wanted to, you could use 'listed' or 'recorded'. E.g.:

'This field shows the active contacts for this client.'
or
'This field shows the active contacts recorded for this client.'

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Ken Cox: I'd say 'associated with' here. 'Hangen aan' strikes me as being programmer jargon in this context, with a sense of 'subordinated to' (or more generally 'assigned to').
