Import Mailing List

This form is used to import a ASCII CSV file of contact information into the ProfitSystem mailing list table. The ASCII file must be in the format of one contact per line, each data element (field) is separated by commas and text strings (non-numeric data) is surrounded by quotes. The steps to import a list are: ​ 1. The form will ask for the ASCII file to import. Navigate to the file by clicking the BROWSE button. Once chosen click the NEXT button. 3. Once the file is selected ProfitSystem will attempt to open the file. Once successfully opened the next form will display the fields of the ASCII file and provide a tool to match the ASCII fields to the 15 data fields within ProfitSystem. The user simply uses the drop down widget located above the each ASCII data field to select the ProfitSystem field that matches. Choose IGNORE for the fields not needed for the import. Once all are selected click the NEXT button. Also, select the date format used in the import file, which can be Automatic or MM/DD/YYYY. 5. Name the imported Mailing List. Make it a name that easily identifies it. For example, the list could be for Fashion Show on May 6, 2005. So a good name would be FS5605. A concise name is best and easiest to recall in the Query when a campaign is created. Once a name is created click the FINISH button. The data will be imported.

Imported Mailing lists my be reviewed and edited in the Mailing List Management function.
