hello everybody my name is Drew thank
0:04
you so much for joining us today today
0:07
we're going to be talking about the
0:10
contacts page we're really just going to
0:11
focus on a single page walking you
0:13
through the interface and basically just
0:17
telling you what all of the buttons do
0:19
and how to interact with this page
0:23
so here we are we are looking at the
0:26
contacts page now some of the buttons
0:29
here have
0:31
slightly more complex functionality and
0:33
so we're going to give you a kind of a
0:35
definition of what these buttons are for
0:37
but we're not going to go too much into
0:39
the weeds of it particularly this filter
0:42
button and the score button but um but
0:45
yeah let's uh let's walk through this
0:48
pretty much just from the top down so of
0:51
course we've got a search bar here which
0:54
lets us search our contacts and by the
0:57
way too that these contacts that you see
0:58
in here on this page this is going to be
1:01
just a like one record of every single
1:04
contact that is found anywhere in your
1:08
database um and so you can search all
1:11
the contacts you've got by name by email
1:14
phone number things like that so I you
1:17
can see there's a Bugs Bunny contact
1:19
here I search for that first name Bugs
1:23
there is that contact that is then
1:27
yielded I search for gy I can see that
1:29
there are these three gems that can be
1:31
found in the
1:33
system now you got the learn button
1:35
which very well might be how you found
1:37
this video today uh for just support
1:40
resources you've got create for adding a
1:44
new contact into the
1:48
system and of course you can import
1:50
contacts as well so if you're looking to
1:52
mass import people that's the way to do
1:55
it but if you're just looking to create
1:57
one person at a time this is the way to
1:59
do it
2:00
now coming over here we see our filter
2:03
views so if you don't see the contacts
2:06
that you're looking for on this page
2:09
chance this is the first place to check
2:11
this is going to dictate what you were
2:12
seeing my contacts versus if you're on a
2:14
team you're going to see absolutely
2:16
every single person and then coming down
2:19
here you're going to see U basically any
2:21
filter views that you have and so um
2:25
we'll see in a second how you can create
2:28
a new filter view but after you've made
2:30
one you're going to see an instance of
2:31
every single filter view that you've
2:33
made right here so if we just
2:36
uh go here to say like this Mass
2:40
construction if I click on that that's
2:42
going to pull up this filter view that
2:44
is going to then only show contacts that
2:46
match those rules and we can actually
2:47
see what those rules are right here
2:49
geographical territory this contact
2:52
field is
2:53
CT and the industry is construction so
2:57
these are two custom fields that I have
2:58
in the system and this is the only
3:01
contact right now that matches
3:02
them and we've also got this star button
3:05
here which allows us to save this uh
3:09
filter view up here these starred
3:11
filters basically if I want to be able
3:13
to access it really quickly uh from
3:16
pretty much any page but let's go back
3:18
to my contacts right here and this is
3:21
going to be pretty like every single
3:22
contact that belongs to me now we've got
3:26
how many rows we want to have displayed
3:28
on the page at a time and
3:30
um with with the rows being these all
3:33
right
3:33
here in many cases people elect to have
3:37
a large number but it will just note
3:39
that will mean slower page loads so if
3:41
you want it to be a little bit faster
3:43
then go for something like 20 columns we
3:46
can dictate which columns we want to
3:48
have all displayed right here so I
3:50
encourage you to display the stuff
3:53
that's going to be most useful for you
3:54
to see at a glance when you're browsing
3:56
your contacts so we can click on columns
3:59
right here
4:01
and this is going to be a list of all
4:02
the columns that we have we can reorder
4:05
them how we please we can delete them if
4:09
they aren't useful to be displayed in
4:11
this table we can add additional
4:14
standard fields and custom Fields right
4:18
here so it's
4:21
a we were using what industry before I
4:23
believe so we can have that display
4:26
right there and then you can also decide
4:28
what how you want these things to sort
4:30
so if you want it to be sorted by like
4:33
last name maybe you can do
4:36
that so now you can see that this is
4:39
reordered I can now see this industry
4:41
column and I think that last emailed I
4:43
moved that one up
4:46
here coming over here to filter views
4:49
you might have an idea of what this is
4:50
based on what I was just describing
4:52
earlier but uh filter views are a way to
4:56
dis to to display a filtered set of your
5:00
contacts based on certain rules so um
5:04
let's see we
5:06
got construction as a industry so let's
5:09
uh let's filter for
5:13
construction if you are with a team
5:16
these are
5:19
useful
5:20
industry
5:22
is
5:24
construction
5:26
save and here we go now I can see my
5:29
four
5:30
construction contacts all listed right
5:34
here and filter views can get a little
5:37
bit complicated um search Our Help
5:39
Center for our filter view uh tutorial
5:42
that goes down in like more in more
5:45
detail about filter views and uh always
5:48
feel free to reach out to us as well if
5:50
you have any uh further questions about
5:53
creating the the proper filter views and
5:56
then scoring right here scoring is how
6:00
you can um get a get a view at your
6:04
contacts who are engaging the most with
6:08
the emails that you're sending to them
6:10
uh so this also is um a topic that can
6:16
you can go a little bit deep into it but
6:17
ultimately the punchline is you're
6:20
wondering who is engaging the most with
6:21
your content this is a great way to to
6:24
find that and so in this case I could
6:26
find I could find everybody who from
6:28
this filter View of construction people
6:31
who is engaging the most this way click
6:33
on that and then I'll see this in my
6:36
reports so we've got export right here
6:40
you click this and you'll get a CSV of
6:43
what you see right here plus maybe some
6:46
additional uh system columns as well
6:50
that'll be emailed to you and you can
6:51
download it from there and um when
6:55
you're looking to export if you want a
6:58
field you want to be gu guante that
7:00
there's a particular field that you're
7:01
going to see like one of these columns
7:03
right here just add it in these column
7:05
using this columns tool that we were
7:07
looking at before and then that way
7:09
you'll guarantee that it'll be in that
7:11
export right
7:13
there uh looking at this like we said
7:16
before this shows us if if we're
7:20
filtering for anything in particular
7:21
we're going to see it right here let's
7:24
go back to my contacts the full list you
7:27
can see uh how many contacts
7:30
total
7:31
that are being brought up by the filter
7:34
you're looking at right
7:36
there you can check these boxes to
7:39
interact with one or multiple rows here
7:43
and then you click on this to interact
7:48
with it and you know do a thing
7:50
basically so create segment from
7:52
selected this is basically how you make
7:54
a a brand new contact list from the
7:58
contacts that you've selected
8:00
add to existing list would be to add to
8:02
a contact list that you already have
8:05
this would be like if you're looking to
8:06
Market and send a mass email or mass
8:08
text to these people this is the way to
8:10
do
8:11
that add remove tags this is how you can
8:14
Mass update the tags on contacts same
8:17
goes with the custom Fields here too if
8:20
you need to mass update them change
8:22
owner if you have a team member who's
8:24
also in your account you can then add
8:27
these people to that person's uh to the
8:30
contacts that belong to them and of
8:32
course you can delete contacts this way
8:34
too one thing to note as well as you can
8:37
see we only see 20 contacts here but we
8:41
have 102 total so how do we select all
8:44
of them well you hit this box right here
8:46
to select all that are on this page see
8:48
how it says 20 selected right here but
8:51
then this popped up here so 20 items on
8:54
this page are selected click here to
8:56
select all
8:57
102 click on that now now we can see 102
9:00
are selected here so if I needed to send
9:03
all of my contacts to say like another
9:05
to another person on the team or change
9:07
the custom field value that's how you
9:09
can go about doing
9:12
that now interacting with these contacts
9:15
on this page we have some buttons right
9:17
here like quick view this allows us to
9:20
inspect the contact without leaving the
9:23
page that we're on really useful if
9:25
you're going through a whole bunch of
9:27
contacts trying to see which one is
9:28
which that's how you can do that you can
9:32
just quickly edit a contact record by
9:34
clicking on
9:37
this and you can quickly email them by
9:40
clicking on that um if you have texting
9:43
enabled in your account texting there'll
9:45
be a texting button right there as
9:48
well and now the last thing that we can
9:50
do on this page is click on the name
9:53
which will take us to the contact UM
9:57
record itself and off of the page that
10:00
we were just
10:01
on so I hope that this has been helpful
10:06
just a little quick kind of guess rapid
10:08
fire walk through of all the buttons
10:11
that you'll find on that contact uh on
10:13
