Define Recipients: Upload Recipients

To access the recipients wizard for a given standard mail job from the open job details pane, select the Summary tab and click on the Edit link in the Recipients section. If you are already on the workflow page of the mail job, simply click on the Define Recipients section.
To access the recipients wizard for a given A/B-split job, click the Edit link in the Recipients section of the A/B-split job details page.

Note: If the recipients do not have the desired type "Upload Recipients", you can change the recipients type on the source page.

The Define Recipients wizard allows the defining of recipients that will receive the email message specified in the job when the job is finally sent.

The wizard has up to five pages: Source, Source Details, Recipients Details, Advanced Settings, and Summary.

The top row of the wizard displays links to these five pages. The page that is currently open is highlighted. Depending on the choices made on some of the wizard pages, other pages may become disabled or may be shown in different versions. If a wizard page is disabled, then it means that this page is not necessary with the current choices and can safely be ignored.

Source Details Page: How to Parse the File

This screen lets you define details about the recipients file whose origin you defined on the Source screen:

At the bottom of the screen, a preview sample with the data parsed from the uploaded file is displayed.

The Header Row section allows you to specify if a header row is already present in the uploaded data or not. LISTSERV Maestro requires header names for all columns in the file. These headers may already be defined in the file itself. If they are not defined in the file, then you can define them during the next step in this wizard (see the Recipients Details screen).

For Text / CSV files only:

The rows in the CSV file are parsed using the current setting for character encoding, column separator and quote character. (Click here for more details about separator and quote characters.) To specify non-default settings for the separator character, the quote character, or to adjust the selected character encoding for the uploaded file, click on the Specify encoding and separator/quote manually link.

If you are satisfied with your selection of non-default settings, press the [Refresh Preview] button to see an updated preview result. Reconsider your selections if the displayed preview does not show the contents of your file correctly separated into columns and/or if foreign language characters appear incorrectly.
