Interaction Lists

An Interaction List is a static list of interactions that were added to the list manually by selecting them from an Interaction Grid. You can access existing interaction lists and create new, empty interaction lists in the Interaction Lists tab. (Interaction lists can also be created on the fly in an Interaction Grid; see Adding Interactions to an Interaction List.)

To open the Interaction Lists tab:

• Select Explore > Interaction Lists. The Interaction Lists tab opens and displays a list of the interaction lists you have created or other users have shared with you.

Creating a New Interaction List

New interaction lists can be created in one of two ways:

• On the fly— You can create a new interaction list on the fly in an Interaction Grid. The new interaction list cannot be created empty - interactions must be selected in the Interaction Grid, and the selected interactions are automatically added to the new interaction list. For additional information, see Using an Interaction Grid.
• New empty interaction list— You can create an empty interaction list in the Interaction Lists tab. Interactions can be added to the list from an Interaction Grid later on, as necessary.

To create an empty interaction list

1. Above the Interaction Lists table, in the right corner of the screen click file:Smicon_createcalllist.png. You are prompted to enter a name for the new list. Interaction List names are case sensitive.
2. Enter a name, and then click OK. The new interaction list is created and added to the Interaction Lists table.
