At the top of the Contacts dashboard, you'll see options for searching and filtering your list of contacts:
- Through the search bar, you can search for any identifying piece of information: first or last name, email address, phone number, etc.
- Through the filters, you can narrow down the list by active vs. archived, client status, activity status, or tags.
Learn more about navigating your Contacts tab in our article on searching and filtering.

From the upper right corner of the Contacts tab, you can click the + Add Contact to add a new contact to your LISA platform. By adding a contact manually, you'll be able to use the Contact Manager to easily communicate with this lead or customer, no matter how they entered your company's ecosystem.
Please note that all leads that enter through your LISA platform—for example, by calling a tracking phone line or clicking a paid ad and completing a quote form—will be automatically added to your list of contacts.
View Contact Details
From the Contacts page, it's easy to view details about any individual contact. Simply click on any part of the contact to open the contact details, or click on View from the contact's action menu.

Wondering about the difference between the Contacts tab and the Activities tab?
