List Master Help: RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT SCREEN

OVERVIEW

This screen is used to record interactions with constituents, as well as to note general information about contacts that may be useful to keep in a central place. Recording interactions and other relevant information can greatly assist staff members contacting the same constituents later.

Account Profile: The first note in every record is automatically generated. It's called the account profile. The account profile is a place to store general information and background about the person or organization. You could note, for example, that a donor has a beach house in Manzanita, is a Blazers’ season ticket holder, or is politically conservative.

ADDING, MODIFIYING OR DELETING NOTES

To add a note, click the “Start New Note” button at top left, then enter information into all relevant fields. Hit the “Update Note” button to save. Notes will appear in a boxed list.

To remove a note, select it and hit the “delete note” button found underneath the boxed list of notes and to the right.

To modify a note, select it from the boxed list of all notes, modify fields as needed, then hit the “Update Note” button to save.

RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT FIELDS

“Add to my list” button: Click to add this record to your personal contact list. Each staff member can create a “my list,” typically used to assign primacy of contact. For example, if a record appears on the executive director’s list, you should always talk to the executive director before making any contact with that constituent.

“Show/Hide E-blast Notes” button: Click to hide e-blast-related notes from the boxed list of notes. Because each e-blast automatically generates a note in the record of each recipient, some List Master users like to hide them. To show them, simply click the button again.

“Display All Notes” button: Displays the details of all notes in a more readable format.

Select Type: Start a new note by assigning it a type from this drop-down menu. Examples include personal letter, phone call and direct mail.

Date: Type in the date or “ongoing.”

Subject: Type in a subject line here, or choose one from the “Select Subject” drop-down menu on the line below.  

Select Result: Assign the note a result from this drop-down menu, such as left message, maybe, yes, call back or attended.

“Add name & date” button: Clicking this automatically enters your name and date into the note. It’s optional, and is most commonly used with notes in the account profile.

Select Subject: Choose a subject from this agency-specific drop-down menu, or type your own into the “Subject” field on the line above.

Attach File: Use this to attach a spreadsheet, Word document or PDF related to the note. Click the “Choose File” button to browse for and select the document.  Currently, you can attach only one file per note.

“view attached” button: Click this button to view the attached file.

Email Reminder: These fields will generate an automatic email to yourself or someone else. The subject of the note will become the subject line of the email, and the body of the email will include the content of the notes.

 “None” is the default; choose “Day of” to send the email on a specific date or “Until Completed” to send an email every day until action is taken and noted in List Master.

Choose an email recipient from the “Select Recipient” drop-down menu, or type an address to populate the “To” field.

“send on” field: Type in a date for your email to be sent.

“completed” field: Use this field to indicate the date a task was completed or action was taken. Once this date is filled in — but not until this date is filled in — email reminders marked “until completed” will cease being automatically sent.

Optional fields include drop-down menus containing anything applicable to your work, such as items for inclusion in information packets or other public relations materials, or a list of activities volunteers can sign up for.
