- Navigate to the List Management screen > Lists view.
- In the Lists list, create a new record and complete the fields.
Some fields are described in Table 45.
- Save the record.

Data Type |
List Import attempts to determine the format of the attached text file. Values are:
- Comma Delimited. If the first row of data in the file contains a comma in any of the field values, a best practice is to use tab delimited format to make sure that the correct file format is detected.
- Fixed Width
- Other Delimited. You can enter another character as the delimiter. If you attempt to add >1 character, the value is truncated.
- Tab Delimited

List Name |
(Required) This field is populated when you add the record, but you can modify the name. |
Source |
The company from which the list was purchased. The company must be an account record in the Siebel database. |
