List Overrides are a special type of tag used to add or remove constituents from manual or combined lists - the List Overrides are shown in a panel on the constituents profile next to communication preferences. To

• Add a constituent to a list click in the List Overrides box and select the tag for the list - it will be shown in green to indicate the constituent is included on the list
• Exclude a constituent from a list
• add the list tag - save the constituent record
• click on tag you just added and set tag excluded to yes
• save the record - the tag will be shown in red to indicate the constituent is excluded on the list

What’s the difference between an exclude (red) tag and no tag?

If you have a combined list (e.g. for sending out a newsletter) a constituent may be included on the list based on the filter rules for the list - i.e. their list override tags did not contain a green tag for the list.

However if the constituent contacted you and said they didn’t want to receive the newsletter you can explicitly exclude them from the list by adding a red exclude tag.

When a Donorfy list is synchronised with a Mailchimp list

Note that

• the list override tag controls whether or not the constituent appears on the list in Donorfy
• However for the constituent to be sync’d to a Mailchimp list they must also
• have a valid email address
• not be blocked for email
