Exclusions

To exclude constituents who request not to be contacted or solicited in certain ways, select Exclusions. The Exclusions screen appears. Exclusions help eliminate constituents from the process.

If on his constituent page, through Communications, you add a solicit code that states “Do not email,” Mark will be removed from the process output when a matching exclusion is listed on the Exclusions screen.
