Creating contact lists, company lists, and smart lists

 

Sorting your organization’s contacts and companies into lists lets you access the profiles you need in seconds. A contact list or company list allows you to add records manually into a list, it is static and will not change. Smart lists are however dynamic: they are created based on your filtered criteria, therefore new records might be added or removed into smart lists based on if they match your filter criteria.

Both types of lists can be used to sort contacts in the respective list selectors in the Contact and Company sections of the CRM module. Same applies to the Membership module, where you can create lists and smart lists.
