ProDon:Customized Lists

Introduction

The customized list tool allows you to create client 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 client 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 of people who 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 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 as well. Therefore, a list is created with 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 management grid contains different elements (Client management = clients, Analysis and history = transactions, etc.), the outcome of a list will always be a client list.

It is possible to create a customized list from all the elements of a management grid or from a created list using a search or a filter in order to isolate certain clients or a precise transaction batch, etc.

Example of an active list containing all the clients of the "Client management", no search nor filter was applied.

In the following example, after searching for the clients living in Toronto, the number of items onscreen has decreased; but it still is the active list on which the customized list will be based.

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 edit the criteria of 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 other choices are offered.

With the customized lists tool, it is possible to create, modify 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 lists remain the same and always contain the same clients. It is sometimes necessary that a list remains the same, for instance, people who received a particular letter for a specific occasion. This list has to be fixed and must not change.

After clicking on the button and selecting the "Static lists" option, this window opens.
A: These are the choices of clients who could be assigned to a customized static list. For more details, see this section.	B: By checking this box, the clients excluded from mass mailing who meet the selected criteria will be added to the list.
C: The buttons , and allow you to add a new list, to modify the name of a list or to remove a customized list.	D: These are the lists that have already been created. By clicking on the drop-down menu, all existing customized lists become available. To modify an existing list, select it, then follow the instructions of the  "Static list/Modifying an existing list (Add or remove clients)" section.
E: Allows you to edit the criteria for the customized list. The criteria to be edited will change based on the chosen criterion of the customized static list.	F: Depending on the choice selected at A, this button will be visible or not. If it is visible, by clicking on it, the number of clients, in accordance with the chosen criteria, will be indicated.
G: Always considering the criteria selected at A, this button allows you to add to an existing list the clients of the active list shown onscreen, OR allows you to add to an existing list the clients of the active list meeting the criteria edited in E, OR allows you to add to a new list the clients from the active list meeting the selected criteria.	H: Always considering the criteria selected at A, this button allows you to remove from an existing list the clients of the active list shown onscreen, OR allows you to remove from an existing list the clients of the active list meeting the criteria edited in E.
I: Allows you to empty the chosen existing list before adding the client(s) with the selected criteria. CAUTION: By clicking on G, this feature will erase the clients previously contained in this list and will modify it with the new corresponding client(s).	J: Automatically displays onscreen the result of the modified list. NOTE: It is strongly recommended to leave this checkbox unchecked at all times not to lose the previous active list onscreen. To learn how to view or revise the customized lists onscreen, see this section.

Customized Static List Criteria

There are seven types of customized static lists and each type contains different criteria. Here they are:

• All clients in the active list
• All third-party clients of the active 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 active list that meet certain link criteria
• Only the selected client

All clients in 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" at 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", it allows you to extract all third-party clients registered in the transactions of the active list.

After choosing "All clients in the active list" at A, determine what must be done by following the instructions of the main window "Static list (main window)".

All clients in the active list that meet certain donation criteria

Allows you to include the clients of the active list who meet certain donation criteria.

This window appears after selecting "All clients in the active list that meet certain donation criteria" at A determine what must be done at C, then click on the "Edit criteria" button at E. In this window, you must select the desired options in order to target clients in relation with a transaction history.
CAUTION: Only the clients who are part of the active list created earlier and who meet all the criteria entered in this window will be found.
A: Allows you to base your search on a received amount of money.	B: Allows you to base your search on an amount in relation with the receipts issued to the clients.
C: This option is not available in the first criterion. It allows you to target a variation in relation to the previous criterion. For instance, if $50 were entered, the clients who gave $50 more or less in a donation occasion in comparison to another donation occasion or in a year in comparison to another year would have been found.	D: Allows you to specify the number of instalments in order to reach the amount targeted at A or at B. For instance, if the amounts indicated at A had been $500 to $1,000 and that a minimum of 1 transaction and a maximum of 2 transactions would have been defined, a client who made 3 transactions of $200 could not be found.
E: Allows you to base your search on the highest transactions  in order to reach the amount targeted at A or at B. For instance, if the amounts indicated at A had been $500 to $1,000 and that only the 2 highest transactions of the clients would be considered, a client for whom the 2 highest transactions were $500 and $600 would not be found.	F: Allows you to define the date interval (according to the periods created in ProDon) in which the transactions must have been made.
G: Depending on the period selected in F, the dates will be modified automatically. It is also possible to define the dates manually, in that event, the F field becomes empty and ProDon will refer to the dates entered here.	H: Allows you to choose for which organization the transactions have been made. NOTE: This option is available only if the Multi-organization Module is active.
I: Allows you to select the type of transaction among three choices "Client", "Third-party client" or "Client and third-party client".	J: Allows you to decide whether the search should be based on all the transactions or if it should be based on particular donation occasions, campaigns or activities.
K: Allows you to include or not the commitments. NOTE: This option is only available when the Prospecting and Commitments Module is active.	L: Allows you to base the search on origin codes.
M: Depending on the type of selection chosen at J, the and buttons and the boxes on the left will be available or not. The button allows you to check all the boxes to the left of the buttons and the allows you to uncheck them all. It is also possible to select one by one the donation occasions, activities or campaigns that should be considered in the search. In the example above, all the clients who gave at least $1 in either donation occasions will be found.	N: These 4 checkboxes allow you to choose the type of transactions to include in the search.
O: The buttons " Add criterion" and " Delete criterion" allow you to add or delete a criterion. In this example, there are two criteria. The number of criteria is visible from the tabs in the upper-left of the window. When adding a criterion, you must go in the tab to configure criterion 2, 3, etc. To delete a criterion, select the tab of the criterion, then click on the " Delete criterion" button.	P: When all the criteria are selected, click on " OK".
NOTE: For points D and E, the "0" indicates that the box should not be considered. Therefore, if "0" is entered at D, this field will not be considered. At E, for instance, if the minimum is "2", but there is no maximum, you must enter "0" as maximum and if the maximum is "10" but there is no minimum, you must enter "0" as minimum.

After clicking on " OK", ProDon will go back to the main menu screen. To pursue with the customized list, see points F, G, H, I and J of the "Static List (main window)" section.

All clients in the active list that meet certain mailing criteria

Allows you to include the clients of the active list who meet 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 mailing histories have been adequately documented in the database. To learn how to use the mailing history, see this document.

This window opens after selecting "All clients in the active list that meet certain mailing criteria" at A, determine what must be done at C, then click on the "Edit criteria" button at E. In this window, you must select the desired options in order to target clients by mailing history report.
CAUTION: Only the clients who are part of the active list created earlier and meeting the criteria entered in this window will be found.
A: Enter the date when the mailing was done. If no date is to be considered for the search, simply leave this space blank.	B: Select the organization for which the mailing was done. NOTE: This option is available only if the Multi-organization Module is active in the database.
C: Select the donation occasion for which the maling was done. If no donation occasion is to be considered, simply leave this box empty.	D: Select the activity for which the mailing was done. If no activity is to be considered for the search, simply leave this box empty.
E: Enter the canvasser of the mailing, if desired.	F: Select the "response value" of the mailing history to be considered for the search according to the configuration of default responses. In this example, "No answer" means that I want to search the clients to whom I have sent a solicitation, but from whom I did not get any response; all this with the purpose of sending a second mailing.
G: Enter the description of the mailing that was sent, if desired.	H: Allows you to search the mailings for which no activity has been specified. NOTE: If D is blank and that this box is not checked, the mailings for which no activity had been specified and the mailings for which any activity had been specified will be found. If D is blank and that this box is checked, only the mailings with no activity specified will be found.
I: The reversed search allows you to find all the clients who do not meet all the entered criteria.	J: This option allows you to include, in addition to the clients who meet the edited criteria, all the clients with no mailings documented.
K: The buttons " Add criterion" and " Delete criterion" allow you to add or remove a criterion. In this example, there is only one criterion. The number of criteria is visible from the tabs at the upper-left of the window. When adding a criterion, you must go in the tab to configure criterion 2, 3, etc. To delete a criterion, select the tab of the criterion, then click on the " Delete criterion" button.	L: When all the criteria are selected, click on       " OK".

After clicking on " OK", ProDon will go back to the main menu screen. To pursue with the customized list, see points F, G, H, I and J of the "Static List (main window)" section.

All potential duplicate clients in the active list

Allows you to find the clients who potentially appear more than once in the database of 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, see the "Searching and Eliminating Duplicates" procedure.

All clients linked to a client in the active list that meet certain link criteria

Allows you to include the clients of the active list corresponding to certain types of links/relations between client files.

A list by link/relation criteria is used to find all the clients linked to one of the clients of the active list. For example, if the active list consists of five client files of schools in which exist links to students, it would be possible to find all students from any 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 the type of customized list by link criterion, all the links/relations must have been documented in the database. To learn how to add contacts linked to client files, see the "Contacts and Links" document.

This window opens after selecting "All clients in the active list that meet certain link criteria" at A, determine what must be done at C, then click on the "Edit criteria" button at E.
A: Allows you to indicate the type of link to search.	B: Allows you to use the link in both directions. In this example, the employees or employers linked to client files of the active list would be found.
C: Allows you to add to the customized list, the clients of the active list, in addition to the clients meeting the entered criteria.	D: Allows you to use the reverse link. In this example, the employees linked to the client files of the active list would be found rather than their employers.
E: Indicates the result of the search of the link that will be found.	F: When all criteria are selected, click on " OK".
NOTE: The statement at E changes, if the options at B or D are checked.

After clicking on " OK", ProDon will go back to the main screen. To continue the customized list, see points F, G, H, I and J of the "Static List (main window)" section.

Only the selected client 

Allows you to only include the client of the active list who is selected.

This type of customized list is useful if only one client has to be added or removed from an existing customized list, or if a new list to which it will be necessary to add clients one by one has to be created.

However, to add or remove clients individually, it is 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, see this section.

Static List / Adding a New List

To create a new customized static 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.

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 of the database who meet certain gift criteria.

NOTE: Contrary to the static lists, in dynamic lists, the criteria are not based on the active list, but rather on all the clients of the database.

This window opens after choosing the "Gift criteria" at D, then click on the "Edit criteria" at E. In this window, you must select the desired options in order to target the clients based on their transaction history.
CAUTION: All clients of the database meeting the criteria entered in this window will be found.
A: Allows you to base a search on a received amount of money.	B: Allows you to base the search on an amount in relation to the receipts issued to clients.
C: This option is not available in the first criterion. It allows you to target a variation in relation to the previous criterion. For instance, if $50 were entered, the clients who gave $50 more or less in a donation occasion in comparison with another donation occasion or in a year compared to another year will be found.	D: Allows you to define the number of instalments to reach the amount targeted at A and B. For instance, if the amounts indicated at A were $500 to $1,000 and a minimum of two transactions had been defined, a client who made three transactions of $200 would not be found.
E: Allows you to base a search on the higest transactions to reach the amount targeted at A or B. For instance, if the amounts indicated at A had been $500 to $1,000 and that only the two highest transactions of clients would have been considered, a client for whom the two highest transactions are $500 and $600 would not be found.	F: Allows you to define the date interval (according to periods created in ProDon) in which the transactions must have been made.
G: Depending on the period selected at F, the dates will automatically be modified. It is also possible to define the dates manually, in this case, the F field becomes empty and ProDon will only consider the dates entered here.	H: Allows you to decide for which organization the transactions must be made. NOTE: This option is available only if the Multi-organization Module is active.
I: Allows you to select the type of transaction between "Client", "Third-party client" or "Client and third-party client".	J: Allows you to decide if the search should be based on all the transactions or if it needs to be based on particular donation occasions, campaigns or activities.
K: Allows you to include the commitments or not.	L: Allows you to base a search on origin code(s).
M: Depending on of the type of selection chosen at J, the buttons and and the boxes to the left of the buttons will be available or not. The  button allows you to check all the boxes to the left of the buttons and the  button allows you to uncheck them all. It is also possible to select one by one the donation occasions, activities or campaigns that must be considered in the search. In the example above, all the clients who gave at least $1 in one of these donation occasions will be found.	N: These four checkboxes allow you to choose the type of transactions to be included in the search.
O: The buttons " Add criterion" and " Delete criterion" allow you to add or remove a criterion. In this example, there are two criteria.

P: When all the criteria are selected, click on " OK".
NOTE: For points D and E, the "0" indicates that the box must be ignored. Therefore, if "0" is entered at D, this field will not be considered. At E, for example, if the minimum is "2", but there is no maximum, you have to enter a maximum of "0" and if the maximum is "10", but there is no minimum, you have to enter a minimum of "0".

After clicking on " OK", ProDon will go back to the Customized list management screen.

To see the dynamic list onscreen, see the "Viewing/Filtering Customized Lists" section.

Mailing criteria

Allow you to include all the clients of 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 mailing, 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 the clients meeting certain mailing criteria, it is important that the mailing histories have been documented adequately in the database. To learn how to use the mailing history, see 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 of the database.

This window appears after selecting "Mailing criteria" at D, then click on the "Edit criteria" button at E. In this window, you must select the desired options in order to target the clients based on their mailing history.
CAUTION: All the clients of the database meeting the criteria entered in this window will be found.

F: Choose the "response value" of the mailing history to be considered for the search in accordance with the configuration of the default responses. In this example, "No answer" means that I want to search the clients to whom I have sent a solicitation, but from whom I did not receive any response, so that I can send them another solicitation.
G: Enter the description of the mailing that has been sent, if desired.	H: Allows you to search the mailings for which no activity was specified. NOTE: If D is empty and that this box is not checked, the mailings for which no activity had been specified and the mailings for which any activity had been specified will be found. If D is empty and that this box is checked, only the mailings with no activity specified will be found.
I: The reversed search allows you to find all the clients who do not meet all the entered criteria.	J: This option allows you to include, in addition to the clients meeting the edited criteria, all the clients with no mailings documented.
K: The buttons " Add criterion" and " Delete criterion" allow you to add or remove a criterion. In this example, there is only one criterion. The number of criteria is visible from the tabs in the upper-left of the window. By adding a criterion, you must go in the tab to configure criterion 2, 3, etc. To delete a criterion, select the criterion tab, then click on the " Delete criterion".

C: These are all the existing static and dynamic lists, depending on the selected tab. To add the client to a static list, simply check the name of the list in which he or she must be part. To remove him or her from a (static or dynamic) list, simply uncheck the box.	NOTE: With regards to the dynamic lists, it is only possible to view the lists in which the client is registered. It is therefore not possible to add or remove the client from a dynamic list from here.

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.

A: First make sure that no search and no filter are currently applied. NOTE: If the buttons are shaded, it is because there is no search nor filter applied. If a search or a filter is ongoing, erase it by clicking on the button.	B: After making sure that no search nor filter is applied, click on the button.

After clicking on the button, then select the "Temporary filter" option, this window opens. Go to the "Special" tab.
A: Select either "Dynamic lists" or "Stactic lists", in accordance with the list to be generated.	B: Choose the static list to generate by checking the box.
C: Click on the " Add condition" button.	D: Click on the " Apply" button.
E: It is possible to select many lists at B and to use the functions "Intersection (AND)", "Union (OR)" and/or "Reversed search" to combine the lists. To learn how to use these three functions, see the "Intersection (AND) / Union (OR)" section of the "Filter Data (Queries)" document.

CAUTION: When a customized list is generated in "Analysis and history", all the "transactions" of the clients that 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 could find 150 transactions, but for 125 clients. When all the clients of the active 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 of the list. If the same list is viewed in the "Client management", 125 clients would be found.
