To create a distribution list from an Excel File:

  1. Download your member database to Excel (to learn how, go here)
  2. Remove rows of any members you do not want on the distribution list
  3. Copy the column labelled OrgID (this is your Delta Gamma iMIS ID)
  4. Paste the data into a blank Excel spreadsheet - it will just be a column of iMIS IDs
  5. In memberplanet, go to Members
  6. Select Manage Distribution lists
  7. Select Add a list in the upper right
  8. Name the list
  9. Click on the tab "Upload member list"
  10. Click "Browse" and add your Excel document with the list of IDs only
  11. If your Excel file has a row with label name at the top, check "Ignore first row of the table" on the right-hand side 
  12. Click Upload
  13. You will receive a preview of your first 5 IDs if done correctly
  14. Choose "Create a list"
  15. Depending on the size of the list, it will take 5-10 minutes for the distribution list to show in your chapter
