Homepage
The ListManager Home Page will be the first page you see when you log in. It provides links to commonly performed tasks. It also shows you the recent mailing activity for the list you are logged into.
If you're performing other tasks in ListManager and you'd like to return to this page, click on the Home tab.
The Navigation Bar
The Navigation Bar is at the top of every ListManager screen.

Clicking on the Help icon takes you to the ListManager Manual.
Tabs
You can navigate between the major areas of ListManager by clicking on on one of the navigation bar tabs. You can always return to the home page by clicking on the Home tab.
Content
A mailing consists of two parts: the content of the message, and the segment you'd like to send to. Clicking on the Content tab allows you to view, create, copy or delete content.
Segments
Segments are typically subsets of a larger list. By creating a segment, you can send messages to a targeted portion of your list. Clicking on the Segments tab allows you to view, create, copy, test or delete segments.
Mailings
A mailing combines content and segments to send an email to recipients. Alternatively, you can create one-off mailings without first creating content or segments. Clicking on the Mailings tab allows you to view, create, copy, test, schedule, approve, or delete mailings.
Reports
Once you've sent out a mailing, you'll want to see its progress and how successful it's been. By clicking on the Reports tab, you can also view clickthrough statistics, and information about your membership.
Utilities
Manage your settings and your members by clicking on the Utilities tab. From the Utilities tab, you can change your list settings, add or edit members, and see the mail that's coming in and out of your server. You can also set up autoresponders, manage the server, and create documents to be sent automatically when people confirm or subscribe.
