Person Picker

Overview

Use the Person Picker form to generate lists of people using different criteria.

The idea is that you can filter using information you know about the person to either add to or remove to a preview list
You can then add them (or remove them) on a master list - or add (or remove) the entire preview list to a master list
A master list is made up by multiple additions and subtractions

How to use the filtering

Use the "Person Owners" field to select the owners involved
- When you collect names for other companies then by privacy laws the person has only registered their information to be used by the company they registered for
- Each person may have multiple owners (if they have registered multiple times for different organisations their information may have been merged)
- If you do not collect names on behalf of other companies this does not apply
Use the Query fields on the General tab to select the filters of interest
Add filters from the subtabs - Profiles, Relationships, Events if relevant
'''Preview Button''' When ready to view the results of a query
- Query will populate on bottom of screen.
'''Add these to the list''' to add the names to the Master List Tab
'''Remove from List''' to remove the names to the Master List Tab
In the Preview list or the Master List
- Can rightclick any record in the preview to Add or Remove from the Master List individually or go to merge or details
- Can Multiselect in the Preview to Add or Remove from Master List or stack records in Person screen for quick review or editing
Once you have the Master List you want you can add this to the clipboard and use it in
- Event Maintenance as potential audience or speakers
- Tele Marketing Campaign to make calls to
- creating re-usable lists through Contact or Mailing Lists to send mass emails to or use repeatably
- Send an Email Templates - by linking a suitable template at the bottom of the screen and sending the email
Once you have generated a Master List you can Send Emails directly to it or you can export the list to another application.

When the Selected Owners box is empty then right clicking on an Owner in the Possible Owners list will display 2 options:

Add Owner - Add the owners search code to the Selected Owners box. This will exclude any people who do not have this owner. This is the default that will be done if an owner is double clicked.
Not Owner - Add the owners search code to the Selected Owners box, preceeded by NOT. This will exclude any people who have this owner. When the Selected Owners box is not empty then right clicking on an Owner in the Possible Owners list will display 3 options:
And Owner - Add the owners search code to the Selected Owners box, preceeded by AND. This will exclude people unless they have this owner as well as the owner before the AND.

Or Owner - Add the owners search code to the Selected Owners box, preceeded by OR. This will include people if they have this owner, regardless of any filtering before the OR. This is the default that will be done if an owner is double clicked. h4.=Removing Owners and connections from the selection box=
To remove Owners and connections from the selection box you can highlight the text and delete it or place the cursor in the text box and use Back Space or Delete. The Clear button at the bottom left of the form will not only clear the Owners Selection but also the other filter fields entered on the General tab.

More complicated Owners Selection requirements

If you are entering more than 2 owners with more than 1 type of selection then you will probably need to use parentheses ( ) to ensure that the selection works as you want it to.
- You can enter the selection by using the right click options in the Possible Owners list and then add parentheses after if you like.
- Use parentheses to group requirements together, e.g. (A AND B) OR C will list all people with owners A plus B as well as listing all people with owner C. A AND (B OR C) will list only people with owner A plus either owner B or C. (A AND B) AND NOT (C OR D) will list people with both A and B but neither C nor D.
Validate Selection button
