Complete the 2: Seed Lists tab

On the 2: Seed Lists tab, you select seed lists that contain the recipients to copy on all test messages. These are typically people in your organisation who track the progress of the appeal. On the Lists tab of the appeal summary report, you can view the statistics for test messages sent to seed lists. Seed lists are excluded from statistics on all other tabs of the report, such as the Messages Sent and Click-throughs tab.

1. From an open appeal, select the 2: Seed Lists tab.
2. Click Insert seed list. The Select Lists screen appears.
3. To add a seed list, select the list on the left and click Add to move it into the Selected lists box. Add each list as required.
4. Click OK. You return to the 2: Seed Lists tab. In the grid, the selected lists appear.
5. In the Action column, you can view a summary report or the properties of the selected seed list. You can also remove the selected seed list from the appeal.

To view the selected seed list’s properties, click Click here to view/edit this Seed List’s properties. On the List Properties tab, view the list’s data source and query or import file name. The List status box displays whether the program loaded the list successfully or if there are any errors. On the View List tab, view a list of all recipients included in the list. On the List Templates tab, view a list of all templates associated with the selected list. On the List Messages tab, view a list of all messages sent to the selected list.
To remove the selected seed list from the appeal, click Click here to delete this Seed List.

7. If a problem exists with a selected list, the error appears in the Loaded status column. To resolve the error, exit Campaigns and open the email list in Lists, where you can edit the queries that make up the list or replace the *.csv file that creates an imported list. If the list is imported, you can change the field mapping for the email address and the recipient display name. For information about how to edit a list, see Lists.
8. To select the exclusion lists that contain the recipients to exclude from all email sent for this appeal, select the 3: Exclusion Lists tab. For information about this tab, see Complete the 3: Exclusion Lists tab.
