You can add contacts into different lists in order to segment them. This allows you to better classify and target your contacts.
 

Accessing contact lists

You can view contact lists from the side menu in the "Contacts" main page or by clicking "View all" in the side menu, where you will be directed to the "All lists" page.



To search for a list, input the list name in the search bar in the side menu.
 



To access a list, click on the list name you wish to access in the side menu under the "List" section.

Navigating contact lists

The navigation within a specific contact list’s page is similar to the "Contacts" main page where you can edit contact property columns, create new contacts, search, and filter contacts. To learn more about the general navigation in the "Contacts" page, refer to Introduction to Contacts.
