In many areas of Optimizely Campaign, information is displayed in lists and organized in folders, such as mailings in Smart Campaigns.
You need permission to display all records of a recipient list, response list or blocklist; otherwise, only the first 60 records appear.
All lists in Optimizely Campaign work in the same way. A status bar at the bottom shows the number of elements on the page, the number of selected elements, and your current list position (for example, Page 2 of 10).
By default, each page displays up to 20 elements, although this is adjustable. If a list has more than 20 elements, display other pages by clicking Next (>) and Previous (<) in the status bar.
Customizing the list view
- Change column width. Drag the separator between columns to change column width.
- Show and hide columns. Click the down arrow in the upper right corner to determine which columns appear.
- Arrange columns. Click a column header and drag the column to the desired position.
- Sort elements. Click a column header to change its sorting from ascending to descending order. Text fields are sorted alphabetically; numeric fields by value, date fields by date.
