# View, Edit, and Create Contacts

## Overview

Use the Contacts module in Aspire Mobile to search, view, edit, and create contact records from the field.

### Things to know

- Access to the Contacts module is controlled by your user role. If you don't see it, contact your administrator.
- Recently opened contacts are saved on your device so you can view them offline. Contacts you haven't opened in the last 30 days are removed from local storage.
- Some text fields aren't available in Aspire Mobile. If you leave them blank on mobile, they appear blank in Aspire Cloud after the contact is created.

## Requirements

- User role with **Contacts** turned on under the **Mobile** section of your user role configuration.
- To view, create, or edit contacts, your user role also needs the appropriate Contacts permission. To learn more about the View, Edit, and Create permissions and other Aspire Mobile permissions, read our [Defining Role Permissions - Mobile](https://guide.youraspire.com/docs/defining-role-permissions-in-aspire#mobile) section.
