While it is possible to add contacts in bulk to a list- either via report results or by importing a list- sometimes you may need to manually add a contact or contacts to a list/committee. You can do this either via the list/committee itself or on the Profile tab of the contact record.
Add a Contact to a List/Committee Via the List/Committee
- Click Lists/Committee in the Navigation Panel. A list of the lists/committees currently configured in your system will be displayed.
- Click the name of the list you want to view.
- Click the Contacts tab. A list of all of the contacts in the list/committee will be displayed.
- Image Sizes: It is recommended to resize any images contained in an email before insertion, as images typically are not restricted by display size. Anything equal to or larger than the width of a typical widescreen monitor (1920 pixels) is unnecessarily large. We recommend 1200 pixels maximum, but usually, 600px width is sufficient for email.
- Click the Add Contact button.
- In the Add List Member window, configure the following fields:
- Contact: Enter the name of the contact. If the contact exists in your database, as you type ahead contacts that match will be displayed.
- Role: This is an optional field where you can assign a role to this contact for this list.
- Email Address: Select the contact's email address. If an address has not been configured you will need to go to the individual contact page to enter it.
- Join Date: The join date will default to the current date. You may change this if necessary.
- End Date: Do not select a date in this field; it will immediately mark the contact as inactive for this list.
- Do Not Email: If the members wish to be on the list/committee but do not want to receive emails for the list/committee, enable this option.
- Click Done to complete adding the contact to the list.
Add a Contact to a List/Committee via the Contact's Record
-
Open the Contact's record in the Contacts module.
-
On the Overview tab, find the Lists/Committees section. (This may vary in location according to the layout you have chosen and/or customized.)
- Click the plus icon to add the contact to a list/committee.
- In the Lists/Committees window, lists the contact already belongs to will have a blue checkmark; search, filter, or scroll for the new destination list. Check the box for the new list.
- Click Done. The contact is now added to the list. (You may need to click Show More to see the entire list of lists/committees for this contact!)
