List Manager > Set Up Database
In order to upload your database into the Swiftpage List Manager, you will need to make sure your database is set up correctly.
*Please remember that we have many plug-ins for you to choose so that you can send directly from the program where you list resides (like Microsoft Excel). Visit our download page to download one or more of them.
To set up your database:
- Your database is going to be created in Excel. If you have an existing database, see if it can be exported as a .csv file.
- The Excel document needs to be set up as follows:
Row 1, from Column A to whatever, needs to have database fields (First Name, Last Name, Email Address, Phone Number — and so on).
Below that, each contact has their own row.
- When your list is good and ready, go up to the File Menu and select Save As.
- Browse to where you want to keep it on your computer and type the File Name in the field provided.
- From the Save as Type drop down menu, select "CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv) and hit the Save button.
