Following are some of the more important settings you can set for your list. You must be a list admin to change these settings. If you are not able to get to these settings, please see HelpDesk for assistance.
Not all settings are described below, only the ones which we typically use and of which you should be aware. If you have questions about other settings, please contact HelpDesk.
Basics
List Name: my_list
This is a short code for the name of the list. We try to follow naming conventions to make these easier to find. Any list beginning with "imis_" is a list which is based on an iMIS committee. For the most part these synced and you should make changes to members in iMIS, or the changes you make in ListManager will be overwritten the next time the list syncs.
Description: My Important List
The longer title of the list. Ideally, this should match the entry for the contact record in the Global Address List (GAL).
Whether there is an entry in the GAL for the list or not, you can always send to the list by emailing the list name @lm.fb.org, e.g. my_list@lm.fb.org. Any email address ending in @lm.fb.org is a ListManager list.
Reports
Subscription reports: Monthly: send a detailed monthly report on the 1st of the month
You can have an automated report send to you every month detailing how many people are on your list, how many were subscribed, and how many were unsubscribed. This can be a daily, weekly, or monthly report, and can have a level of detail of short, standard, or detailed. The default is to not send subscription reports.
This email will only go to list members who are set to receive list admin mail under the List Admin tab at Members : View Members : Edit Member.
Delivery reports: Report after four (4) hours
You can also have a report detailed the success rate of your mailing sent automatically after each mailing. It also breaks down the success rate by domain, so you can see if a state is having trouble getting our mail. The default is to not send delivery reports.
