Contact List Application The purpose of the Contact List Application is to provide a central repository of mailing addresses that can be shared between the Synod and National Office users. The goal is to minimize the number of individual mailing lists that are kept on each person's computer. By sharing the one list, the number of duplicate addresses recorded within ELCIC is also drastically reduced and updating the address in one place provides everyone with the latest data. The data stored in this application will grow over time to include all contacts that Synod and National office staff interact with. Each office will be able to define its own set of customizable attributes that they can assign to each contact. All users will then be able to view contacts grouped together by any defined attribute. All contacts which share the same attribute will be grouped together to facilitate easy selection of names for building mailing lists. From a categorized view, the user can simply select the names that he or she wants in a mailing list and then click on a button which will copy the address data from the selected records into a file that can be mail merged with a word processor. Whenever someone needs to create mailing lists, they would simply build a new list for the mail merge. Due to the fact that each contact's address may appear in multiple lists, only core address and contact data that would be list independent gets captured. This database would also be able to function as an electronic phone book for finding people that deal with ELCIC. We appreciate your comments and suggestions about Rasmus at this e-mail. |
