How to add a new data field and data to an existing list | XM Community
Skip to main content

This is a simple task I’m sure but I haven’t been able to track down the method from the online documentation.

I have created a list in the Directory with contact details and some other fields.  (I have since run a survey and populated the list with some of the survey responses) I now need to add an additional field, with (external) data from a spreadsheet, to the existing list (before doing another survey)

What’s the best way of achieving this?

Thanks in advance

@Arthur_Fletcher Make sure you have deduplicate rule in your directory, export your list out with all the data you need. Within that file, add your additional field as column. Thên when you import it back, the data will get update for those contacts that by your ID rule.

Hi dxconnamnguyen

 

Thanks for the advice, straightforward if slightly risky.  (It would be nice to be able to add in the additional data directly)

 

Thanks

Arthur

@Arthur_Fletcher  - Another way to do it is to - click add contacts to list and select Manual input, create the new embedded data columns you need by clicking the + sign in the column structure, add just one test row with test email. The embedded data columns will be created in the list. Post that you can remove the test email row if necessary.  

Thanks, that’s an option I haven’t tried!
