The SmartEmail Interface

This chapter discusses the SmartEmail software’s Graphical User Interface (GUI). The GUI lets you control every aspect of the SmartEmail software.

When the recent activity log is enabled (see Configuring User Settings), a list of the screens you have recently visited displays at the top of your screen.

Templates

Click this to view the SmartEmail software’s built-in SmartEmail templates, or to create or configure your own custom SmartEmail templates.

Note: Templates control the appearance of the emails you send.

Forms

Click this to see a menu that lets you create, view and edit website forms.

Note: You can create forms for your website that let contacts subscribe, unsubscribe, modify their details, or send information to a friend.

User Accounts

Table 3 The Navigation Bar

Contact Lists

Click this to see a menu that lets you manage contact lists, bounced emails, contact list segments and contact list groups.

Note: Bounced emails are emails you sent that could not be delivered.

Note: Segments are groups of contact list entries that share a particular feature; for example, entries with “.com” in the address.

Contacts

Click this to see a menu that lets you manage contacts manually, upload or download a file of contacts, and manage suppression lists.

Note: The SmartEmail software uses CSV (Comma-Separated Value) files to upload contacts. Many common applications such as Microsoft Outlook and Excel can export CSV files.

Note: Suppression lists contain SmartEmail addresses to which emails are not sent, even though the address remains on the contact list.

SmartEmail Campaigns

Click this to see a menu that allows you to view, create and send SmartEmail campaigns, perform split tests and view scheduled emails.

Note: Scheduled emails are emails you have configured the SmartEmail software to send out at a particular point in the future.

Autoresponders

Click this to see a menu that allows you to create, view and edit autoresponders and triggers.

Note: Autoresponders are emails that are sent out automatically after a certain event (for example, as soon as a contact joins your list). Triggers are similar to autoresponders, but allow you even greater flexibility to automate SmartEmail and administrative tasks to happen automatically when certain other events occur.

Custom Fields

Click this to see a menu that lets you create, view and edit subscription form custom fields.

Note: By default, subscription forms contain only SmartEmail Address and Contact Format (plain text or HTML) fields. Custom fields help you gather more information about your contacts when they join your list.

Statistics

Click this to see a menu that lets you view statistics about your SmartEmail campaigns, split tests, triggers, autoresponders, contact lists and user accounts.
