# Contacts List

**Contacts** is where you setup all of the contact information for individuals that you want to have Alerts sent to. Each individual is referred to as a Contact and each address you provide for that Contact is called a Contact Method. This allows you to setup multiple Contact Methods for the same contact. For example, if a person has a cell phone and a pager, you can add both of them to the same Contact.  
  
Once you have all of your Contacts defined, you will be given the opportunity to set them up for Alerts when you add or edit your Monitors. At that point you will be able to choose which Contact Method(s) you want the Alerts to be sent to and at what point in time you want them to be alerted.
