Reserve finder numbers

1. From the Finder numbers tab of an inactive membership renewal effort, select Add.

2. In the Reserved for field, select “<House file>,” an imported list, or a vendor who provides list services.

3. In the Quantity field, enter the range of finder numbers to reserve. The value must be less than or equal to the maximum finder number allowed by the finder number settings.

You can use the arrows to find the next available range that accommodates the specified Quantity. This helps fill gaps between your ranges.

4. The Range field displays the starting number and a computed ending number for this set of reserved finder numbers. The default starting number is the highest assigned or reserved finder number. You can enter a different starting number that is less than or equal to the maximum finder number allowed by the finder number settings. The ending number equals the starting number plus the specified Quantity. If the Quantity changes, the starting and ending numbers for the range update automatically. After finder numbers are assigned, you can only increase the amount in the Quantity field up to the point that the range overlaps with another range.

5. The Details section displays the range of reserved numbers. If there are issues with the defined range, such as a starting number that results in overlapping finder numbers, an error appears in the Details section.

6. Select Save.
