How do I add members on my list to a new category I created?

There are two ways to assign members to a category. You can manually add subscribers to a category or add subscribers to a category by importing a file.

To manually add a subscriber to a category, go to Subscribers and click on Manage Subscribers. Click on Edit for the individual member you’d like to add to the list. When you’re on the Add or Edit Subscriber page, click on the category you’d like to add the member to. Ctrl-click to add the member to multiple categories. Click Save Changes.

You can also add members to a category when you import a .csv file. Go to Subscribers and select Import Subscribers from CSV File. After Browsing for the CSV file and clicking to upload the file, you have an option to assign the addresses to a category. Choose the category you wish to assign the addresses to. You can only add addresses to one category at a time.

If you want to add a large group of members that are currently on your list to a new category you have to first export the members to a CSV file (see our KB article on Exporting to CSV). Make any necessary adjustments to the exported file (remove any members you don’t want to add to the new category, for example). Import the adjusted file of members as described above and select the category you wish to add them to. The members in the Mustang List database will be updated and will be added to the new category you selected. They will not be duplicated in the system.
