Introduction
The customized list tool allows you to create clients lists. Once created, these clients lists are saved and can be viewed again at will. They can also be combined with one another and can be modified or deleted if desired. Although it is possible to create lists somewhere else than in the "Client management", they still are clients lists.
The button allows you to create a customized list and can be found in the following ProDon managements:
- Client management
- Task and history management
- Analysis and history
- Receipts to be issued
- Documents to be issued
There are two types of customized lists: static lists and dynamic lists.
Static lists remain the same and always contain the same clients (e.g. a list people having received a particular letter), whereas a dynamic list is automatically modified by ProDon each time a client enters the requested criteria (e.g. all the clients who gave $1,000 or more in a lifetime). To be noted that the dynamic lists are only available in the "Client management".
Customized lists can be based on precise clients (e.g. all clients, potential duplicates, etc.) AND on different criteria. Therefore, a list is created from certain clients (or all clients) who meet certain criteria.
Preparing the Active List
As stated in the introduction, customized lists can be created from different ProDon managements. Although each grid contains different elements (Client management = clients, Analysis and history = transactions, etc.), the result of a list will always be a clients list.
Creating Customized Lists
After configuring the active list in the chosen management, click on the button that is at the top of the window, in order to write the criteria in the customized list.
In the "Client management", two options are available: "Static lists" and "Dynamic lists". In all other managements, only the option "Static lists" is available, so no choices are offered.
In the customized lists tool, it is possible to create, edit and remove lists. However, to be able to view them onscreen again or to combine lists together, see the "Viewing / Filtering Customized Lists" section.
Static List (main window)
Static listsremain the same and always contain the same clients. It is sometimes necessary that a list remains the same, for instance, people having received a particular letter for a specific donation occasion. This list must be fixed and cannot change.
Customized Static List Criteria
There are seven types of static customized lists and each type contains different criteria. Here they are:
- All client in the active list
- All third-party clients of the acitive list
- All clients in the active list that meet certain donation criteria
- All clients in the active list that meet certain mailing criteria
- All potential duplicate clients in the active list
- All clients linked to a client in the actiive list that meet certain link criteria
- Only the selected client
All clients of the active list
Allows you to include all the clients who are currently in the active list.
This type of customized list is useful if all the clients to be added or removed from a list are already isolated in the active list.
After choosing "All clients in the active list" in A, determine what must be done by following the instructions in the main window "Static list (main window)".
All third-party clients of the active list
Only available in some tabs of "Analysis and history" and allows you to extract all third-party clients registered in the transactions of the active list.
After choosing "All clients in the active list" in A, determine what must be done by following the instructions of the main window "Static list (main window)".
All clients of the active list meeting certain donation criteria
Allows you to include the clients fin the active list who correspond to certain gift criteria.
After clicking on " OK", ProDon will go back to the main menu screen. To resume the customized list, see points F, G, H, I and J of the "Static List (main window)" section.
All clients of the active list meeting certain mailing criteria
Allows you to include the clients of the active list who correspond to certain mailing criteria.
A list by mailing criterion mainly allows you to find all the clients who have not responded following a mailing, in order to solicit them again. This type of list is also useful to find the clients who responded positively , or to find the clients who have not received a mailing.
To use the customized list of the clients meeting certain mailing criteria, it is important that the mailing histories have been adequately documented in the database. To learn how to use the mailing history, consult this document.
After clicking on " OK", ProDon will go back to the main menu screen. To continue the customized list, see points F, G, H, I and J of the "Static List (main window)" section.
All clients of the active list who are potential duplicates
Allows you to find the clients who potentially are more than once in the database from an active list.
There is a duplicate when there is more than one client file for the same client.
To learn how to use this type of customized list, consult the "Searching and Eliminating Duplicates" procedure.
All clients who are linked to a client of the active list according to link criteria
Allows you to include the clients in the active list corresponding to certain types of links between client files.
A list by link criteria is used to find all the clients linked to one of the clients in the active list. For example, if the active list consists of of five client files of schools in which exist links to students, it would be possible to find all students of either of the five schools. Or, if the active list consists of all the students' client files of one school, in which exist the links to their parents, it would be possible to find all the students' parents of the school.
To use this type of customized list by link criterion, all the links must have been documented in the database. To learn how to add contacts linked to client files, consult the "Contacts and Links" document.
After clicking on " OK", ProDon will go back to the main menu screen. To continue the customized list, see points F, G, H, I and J of the "Static List (main window)" section.
The selected client only
Allows you to only the client of the active list who is selected.
This type of customized list is useful if a client must be added or removed from an existing customized list, or if a new list to which it is necessary to add clients one by one to be created.
However, to add or remove clients individually, it is rather preferable to proceed directly from the client file.
To learn how to add or remove a client in a customized list from the client file, consult this section.
Static List / Adding a New List
To create a new static customized list, go to the management proper to the type of list to be created (client management, analysis and history, etc.), then prepare the active list of the clients who must be in the new customized static list. Once the active list is created, click on the button, which is at the top of the window, then select "Static list".
Static List / Modifying an Existing List (Add or remove clients)
To modify an existing customized static list, go to the proper management (client management, analysis and history, etc.) in order to find the list to be modified, then prepare the active list of the clients who have to be added or removed from the existing list. Once the active list is created, click on the button, that is at the top of the window, then select "Static list".
Static List / Renaming a List
To rename a customized static list, go to the proper management (client management, analysis and history, etc.) in order to find the list to be renamed, then click on the button that is at the top of the window.

Dynamic List (main window)
A dynamic list, as opposed to a static list, keeps itself updated. Upon each viewing, all the clients it contains correspond exactly to the criteria specified in the creation of the list. Moreover, only the mailing or the donation criteria can be used for the dynamic lists.
NOTE: The dynamic lists are only available in the "Client management".
CAUTION: Contrary to static lists, dynamic lists are not based on the active list onscreen. The clients found during the configuration of a dynamic list are all the clients in the database meeting the edited criteria.
Dynamic List / Adding a New List
To create a new customized dynamic list , go to the "Client management", click on the button, that is at the top of the window, then select the "Dynamic list" option.
After clicking on "Dynamic list", this window opens. |

Types of Customized Dynamic Lists
There are two types of customized dynamic lists and each contains different criteria.
Here are the two types:
- Gift criteria
- Mailing criteria
Gift criteria
Allow you to include all the clients in the database who correspond to certain gift criteria.
NOTE: Contrary to the static lists, as far as the dynamic lists are concerned, the criteria are not based on the active list, but rather on the clients in the database.
After clicking on " OK",ProDon will go back to the Customized list management screen.
To see the dynamic list onscreen, consult the "Viewing/Filtering Customized Lists" section.
Mailing criteria
Allows you to include all the clients in the database who meet certain mailing criteria.
A list by mailing criteria mainly allows you to find the clients who have not responded following a maiilng, in order to solicit them again. This type of list is also useful to find the clients who have responded positively, or to find the clients who have not received the mailing.
To use the customized list of teh clients meeting certain mailing criteria, it is important that the mailing history had been documented adequately in the database. To learn how to use the mailing history, consult this document.
NOTE: Contrary to the static lists, as far as the dynamic lists are concerned, the criteria are not based on the active list, but rather on all the clients in the database.
After clicking on " OK", ProDon will go back to the Customized list management screen.
To see the list onscreen, consult the "Viewing/Filtering Customized Lists" section.
Dynamic List / Modifying Criteria from an Existing List

Adding or Removing a Client from an Existing List (static or dynamic) from a Client File
To add clients individually to the customized lists, it is preferable and faster to do it from their client files.
Viewing / Filtering Customized Lists
To view a customized list, you must apply a filter.
First go to the proper management (client management, analysis and history, etc.) to find the list to be viewed.
CAUTION: When a customized list is generated in "Analysis and history", all the "transactions" of the clients are included in this list are found. For instance, if you isolate the transactions of "Golf Tournament 2012" by using the "Donation occasion" column, you would find 150 transactions , but for 125 clients. When all the clients of theactive list are added to the customized list, 125 clients will be added and not 150 transactions. When viewing this list in "Analysis and history", the result would not be of 150 transactions, but rather all the transactions of the 125 clients in the list. If the same list is viewed in the "Client management", 125 clients would be found.
