About Previewing and Generating Lists

You can create output lists of contacts for export to a fulfillment partner or another application. Direct mail vendors often require specific formatting of campaign lists. When a campaign is ready for launching, the target list may be exported according to a flexible list format and distributed using FTP or email. You can define, manage, and preview the list format without the intervention of a system or marketing administrator. Default formats can be assigned for each vendor.

You can preview a sample of the list to determine if the output file layout is what you want and then generate the actual distribution list that will be sent to vendors.

After a list has been generated, the records in it will not change even when the contacts and prospects who meet the segmentation criteria change. If you modify the members of the campaign, you should regenerate the list files using the latest data.

Lists can be generated manually using the List Distribution view in the Campaign screen or automatically scheduled as part of a scheduled launch of a program stage or stand-alone campaign.
