How do I add new members to a list?
Log in to the Lyris ListManager server at http://lists.cas.usf.edu:81. Select Members from the Shortcuts entry. Click on the Create new member button, and enter the member's information. Once you've finished, click on Save and you'll return to the full member list.
If you have a moderated list, you'll have to approve all member subscriptions. In order to do so, log in to the Lyris ListManager server, then select Members from the Shortcuts entry. In the Members pull-down menu, select Show: private (awaiting admin approval) then Go. The page will reload and display a list of pending members. Click on a member's e-mail address, then on the Settings tab. In Settings select the Membership status pull-down menu, and change it from private- awaiting admin approval to normal member. Click Save and you'll return to the full member list.
If you'd like to add many members to a list at one time, log in to the Lyris ListManager server, then select Members from the Shortcuts entry. In the Members pull-down menu, select Import members from file. File type should be listed as email addresses and optional names, Action should be listed as Import quietly as regular members, unless you'd like to notify new list members that they've been added to the list. In that case, select Import as regular members and send list hello doc. If your list doesn't have a hello document, this setting will not work properly. Enter your import file's name in Select file or use the Browse button to browse for the file on your computer.
Import files should be plain text files with one e-mail address and name per line:
feynman@physics.cas.usf.edu Richard Feynman espada@cas.usf.edu Martin Espada
Once you've selected the import file, click on Import to add the members to the list. It may take a few minutes for new members to be added to the list. Wait until you receive an Import Complete notice, then click on OK. You'll return to the full member list.
