Creating Contact Groups

 
     

When you enter or edit a contact, you're able to assign that contact to contact groups. Contact groups give you a way to organize contacts in addition to the pre-defined categories we provide. For example, you may want to be able to group clients into categories such as “Regular clients”, “Out of state clients”, “Non-lender clients ”, etc. Groups give you the freedom to do this and each contact can also be a member of multiple groups. By categorizing your contacts like this you have a lot more flexibility when setting up XSellerate campaigns or filtering your contact list. To build and manage your groups...

  1. In the contact manager, Tools, Manage Groups from the menus.
    • Create a new group by typing a Group Name into the provided text box and clicking Save New Group.
    • Change a group name by clicking the Edit link beside it, typing a new name in the Group Name box, and clicking Update.
    • Delete a group by clicking the Edit link beside it and then clicking Delete.
    • Assign a contact to a group by editing the contact. Then, click Member of Groups to select the appropriate groups.

  2. Click OK when finished to return to the contact manager.
     
  Hint:  Remember that you can automatically assign the contacts you gather from lead capture forms to a group as well. To set that up, go to the Client Data Capture area of your XSite, click PowerView and then under each page using a form, select the group to which those contacts belong. For example, if you have a PMI removal page on your website with a data capture form on it, you can assign everyone that responds to that form to a custom “PMI Removal” group. The possibilities are endless!
