The Contacts Tab
To do a search for a specific contact, click and start typing a name in the Search Contacts box.
Contact Views
There are two ways to view your list of contacts: List View & Flows View.
NOTE: The default view of Contacts in MPDX is whichever contact view you last accessed. But you can switch between views at any time.
List View: This view is helpful for seeing a filtered list of your contacts, editing contacts in bulk, and preparing mailing lists.
Flows View: This view is helpful for creating a visual of your contacts by status type (i.e. Contact for Appointment, Partner - Prayer, Partner - Financial, Ask in Future, etc.) and moving contacts through an MPDⓇ “workflow.”
Applying Filters and Tags
The Contacts Filters menu is the gray vertical column to the left of the contacts page, click the "<<" to minimize it or ">>" to expand it.
When the Filters menu is expanded you will see options to filter by Tags, Status, Contact Location and Gift Details.
Choose options from the dropdown menus to apply the desired Filter(s) (i.e. Status: Partner - Financial) and generate a list of contacts who fit your search criteria.
Click on Reset Filters to start over or Save to save multiple applied filters.
Click on one or more Tags to filter your full Contact list and show only the contacts with the selected tag(s).
You can edit contacts in bulk by clicking the checkbox in the top left corner to Select All contacts listed. Use Filters (as outlined above) to see a specific list of your contacts. Click to deselect a selected contact. Click again to reselect a contact that has been deselected.
- Once the desired contacts are selected, click on the Actions dropdown menu and select Edit Fields.
- You can also choose to Add Tags, Remove Tags, Add Task, Log Task, or Hide Contacts.
