Managing Contact Lists

Enquire CRM allows for the creation of contact lists which can be used to streamline and track communications with list members. Any user can create a new contact list, however the list is accessible by all users in that group.

Members of the list can be assigned issues, actions and correspondence, which will appear in the contact list and their individual CRM record. Contact lists also have attachment and export features.
