Contacts - distribution lists

[mrbeanpa]

I've just started playing more with the contacts capabilities of VueMinder and have a request!

I have need to set up several distribution lists and several categories of contacts. When I build distribution lists I want to add several contacts from a single category to the list. As far as I can see there is no filter function to allow a single category to be selected when adding contacts to a distribution list. This means specific contacts can only be selected manually from the entire list of contacts. I have 2 suggestions:

1. Allow several contacts filtered by category in the contacts list to be dragged and dropped into defined distribution lists and/or

2. Allow the dialogue used to build distribution lists to filter by category, perhaps other fields as well.

Many thanks

Hi Phil, thanks for the suggestion. I've added this to my to-do list and will post a reply when this improvement is completed.

The distribution list editor will be improved to allow filtering/searching based on any of the contact values (category, company, job title, etc.). The list will be similar to the list shown when selecting a contact to link to an event, task, or note.

Thanks again, and please let me know if you have any other suggestions.
