Account Views

I am a new user.  Trying to learn a bit about Zoho.
 
We have been using an extinct version of ACT! ... 6.0.
 
I am trying to import 3 lists of clients:  Active, Inactive and Prospects.
 
In the "contacts" module I would like to create views for each heading and inport each accordingly.
 
How or where would you identify these during the import so that the would be differentiated during a look up?
 
Thanks for any help and patience.  This will take me some time, but I am pretty committed to making this work.
 
No spell check on this ... yikes.
 
Novice!
