Manage Simplelists E-lists

This article applies only to the Simplelists e-list Service.

This article applies to: E-lists (Simplelists)

Select an E-List to Manage

Once logged in, the E-list Account dropdown in the upper right corner of the window shows you which accounts you have administrative access to. If you're having difficulty finding this item, refer to the troubleshooting notes for the Simplelists interface.

The current account is the one which displays next to your login, and which is highlighted in gray when you click the dropdown arrow.

You can switch between accounts by selecting the one you want to work with from the dropdown.

Each account has one or more e-lists within it. To select an e-list within an account:

  1. Select manage lists from the menu on the left side of the screen.

  1. Select Settings beneath the Action column for the list you want to manage.
List of E-lists in an account.
When there is more than one E-list in the account, there is no way to tell from the web interface which account a particular e-list is in without viewing all the lists in an account. However, many E-lists and their accounts share a naming convention. If the account name is YOUR-LIST-L-account, then the E-list name will be YOUR-LIST-L.

Proceed with the steps for the action you need to perform.
