# Smart Lists

Smart list is where all of your CRM contacts will live and breathe. Smart lists allow you to sort, filter and manage contacts using data and information in the contact's account! This guide will educate you on the different components of smart lists and how to create them.

> NOTE: Depending on your user permissions, you may not have access to all of the components.

### **Creating New Smart Lists**

In order to create new smart lists, you will need to add filters.

Filters will allow you to segment your contacts based on their position in the sales process or how they have interacted with your company. To learn more about adding filters, click here: <mark style="color:blue;">Smart List Filters</mark>

### **Saving Your New Smart List**

Once you have selected filters for your smart list, you would click the icon to save your smart list.

You will need to give your smart list a name when you save it so that you can easily identify it at a later time.
