The Contact Browser empowers agents to use their contact data in the most efficient way. The concept behind the feature is to build pre-set lists that agents can use and work with on a daily business. The advantage of the browser is that other Propertybase objects can be included in filters, this means lists based on Contacts with Activities, Listings, Offers or any related object can be created and saved. The main features consist of:

• Search for contacts using different criteria and summarize
• Define custom search filter for contacts and share in team 
• Create Static contact lists 
• Add individual contacts list or remove them from 
• Share contact lists and with others

To learn how the general functionality works see the Browser Functionality article.

In this article specific use cases for the Contact Browser are discussed. For a more detailed explanation on lists see the Standard and Smart Lists article.
