Homepage
The ListManager Homepage will be the first page you see when you log in. It shows reporting data for your most recent mailing, and trends.
1. Login Information
Login information is at the top right of every ListManager screen.
The upper right hand corner shows you your current list, the current language you are using, and who you are logged in as. If you are running a ListManager cluster, the node name will appear as well if you are a server administrator. Click on the list name to change your list, the current language to switch to another language, and your name to log in as another user.
2. Navigation Bar Tabs
You can navigate between the major areas of ListManager by clicking on one of the navigation bar tabs.
Home
You can always return to the homepage by clicking on the Home tab.
Members
Members are the email addresses ListManager sends mailings to. From the Members tab, you may add or import members, find and edit members, or delete them.
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 or target audiences 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.
