3CX has two main types of contact lists.
- Company Contacts: A list of contacts that is available to all users. An ideal place to store customers, suppliers, etc.
- Personal Contacts: Each user has their own private list of contacts, visible only to them.
All contact lists can be viewed in the 3CX Web Client, 3CX App for Windows, 3CX iOS and Android apps, and compatible IP phones.
