The Contacts page in the Survey/Forms Module is used to manage all of your email lists and the contacts on those lists. Contacts are the constituents who will receive the emails sent to those lists. All of the contacts shown in the contacts page are also constituents in the database. The page your see in the Survey/Forms Module is the same as is available in the Email Marketing Module. Any changes you make via either module, will be reflected in both.

Email lists can be created from most grids by adding queries and filters to identify the specific groups of constituents you wish to contact. Email lists can also be created from constituent profile pages using the Email Lists field as well as from the Contacts Page by importing, combining, or creating new blank lists.

You can find the Contacts page by going to the Workspace menu, then Survey/Forms Module and click on **Contacts**.
