There are several ways to import new members to a Mailing List in the Lyris List Manager system web-based administrative interface. These instructions describe how to add many new members by importing a spreadsheet.
Requirements
To upload a list, you need to have administrator access. Email your list administrator to be added. If you need a new list, please visit the Collaboration section of this website for information and complete this request form.
Instructions
- The columns on your spreadsheet need to be named to match the database, so Lyris knows where to put the data. For example:
To see additional column headers, see the list below for commonly used field names.
- Save the file as a CSV or Text File
- Log in to https://researchlistadmin.partners.org
- Select Members then Add Members
- Then Import Members from CSV or Text (which ever format you saved the file as)
- Keep Action set to 'Import quietly as regular members’
- Choose File
- Import
- Done! Check your work by navigating to View Members and scroll through.
