Mark Bad Phone Numbers and E-mail Addresses

Concepts

VSys gives you a quick tool for marking individual phone numbers and e-mail addresses as bad. This doesn't mark the person as "do not call" or "do not e-mail", it's meant to mark the phone number or e-mail address itself as bad for this person so you don't try to re-contact the person again with this number or e-mail address.

Steps in this task

  1. From the Data entry panel, click on Mark bad phone numbers/e-mail addresses.
  2. For each person, one at a time, type in the bad phone number or e-mail address.
    Click the Lookup button.
  3. VSys will bring up a list of all people who have that phone number or e-mail address and check all of them.
  4. To mark the phone number as bad for all of the checked people, click the Mark bad button.
