Changing the status of a contact

You can change the status of a contact when another field marketer is not viewing the contacts, or until the List review target end date passed.

About this task

If another user is viewing the contacts, or if the review target date passed, you cannot change a contact's status, and the status radio buttons are disabled.

Procedure

  1. Open the List.
  2. Open the Contacts to Review page by clicking a number in the Counts column of the List Review table.

    The Contacts to Review page opens, listing the contacts of the type you selected. For example, if you clicked the number before Accepted, all contacts currently accepted in the List are included in the review page.

  3. To change the status of individual contacts, click the radio button for a different column in that contact's row.
    For example, if the Accept radio button is selected for a contact, you can change the contact's status to Decline or Review by selecting the respective radio buttons.
  4. To change the status of all listed contacts, click one of the buttons at the bottom of the page.
    For example, if you opened the list of Accepted contacts, to change them all to Declined, click Decline All Records.
    Important: When you click one of these buttons, the screen refreshes immediately, and no contacts are listed, because no contacts now meet the criteria you selected when you opened the page. For example, if you chose to decline all accepted contacts, there are no more accepted contacts in the List, so none are displayed in the current window.

    The buttons displayed depend on the status of the contacts you opened.

    The changes that you make to all contacts are saved immediately, you cannot cancel the change.

  5. To save you changes and continue working, click Save Selections.
  6. To close the window, click Close.

    A message warns you that if you continue, any changes since the last time you clicked Save Selections are lost.

  7. To save any other changes, click Cancel, then click Save Selections, then click Close again.
  8. To close without saving additional changes, click OK.

Results

The status of contacts in the list is updated.
