To include the following: List Creation * Administrators can create and store multiple lists of users from the database. * List storage can be static (the names and details are saved) or dynamic (the query definition is saved). * By default lists will only contain users that have opted for information to be sent to them (administrator can override for special cases) * Selection criteria for the list will be based on a simple drop down lists in the fashion of a QBE (Query by Example) grid. * An import option from existing databases will be available. * An import option from existing lists will be available. * New lists can be created by combining existing saved lists. * Offline editing of the user data with synchronisation of changes and conflict management. * List testing: The list can be tested against a message with sample output being sent to the administrator for review. * List can be marked as “User Selectable?? ??" see Users section below List Management * Additionally screen added to existing user management admin section allowing easy view/edit of the lists subscribed to for users. * Administrators can easily remove a user from a list (without the user being deleted from the database) * Automatic handling of bounced emails and removal from lists * Bounced mails report showing invalid email addresses and link to users accounts. * Scheduled list history report showing details of mails sent and any errors. * Two separate accounts for each country will be available: one for the management of the database and the other for customer support with limited features available. Message Creation * Text based or simple HTML based editing of the mail message will be selectable. * HTML based editing of the message will be performed outside of the web application (e.g. FrontPage) and pasted in to a HTML form, or via an in-built web based simple HTML editor (IE5.5 and above only) * Message preview * Design HTML and Text Templates can be created, saved and then used to assist in the creation of messages. * Message creation is separate from list creation, so that a message can easily be used for multiple lists. * It will be possible to add an attachment to [IB3]a message. * Message testing: The message can be tested with output being sent to the administrator for review. Mail Delivery * Built-in scheduler will enable sending of mail at a predetermined time, once only, or on a recurrence. * Mail can also be sent manually. User’s Control of List Membership * All emails will automatically include a link and a return email address, allowing the users to unsubscribe easily using one of these methods. * Additional section added to the Users Account Management will allow the users to see all the Lists there are subscribed to, and that are available for them to select
