Part 11: Site administrators

When you sign up for a Sparklist "Custom Domain" option, you gain access to another level of control: Site Administrator.

As a Site Admin, you can create and delete your own lists without our assistance. The best approach to creating new lists is to make template list that you use only for testing and cloning.

 
Create a template

1. Log in as a site admin
2. Click on Mailing Lists.
3. Select a list that has the settings you'd like for your other lists.
4. Select Clone Mailing List.
5. Change the name and description, e.g., acmecorp-template
6. Save the list.
7. Create list admins and test members that you would like to be on all new lists.

 
Create new lists based on your template

1. Log in as a site admin
2. Click on Mailing Lists.
3. Select your template.
4. Select Clone Mailing List, and Copy All Members.
5. Change the name and description.
6. Modify any other "List Info" settings that are unique to this list.
7. Save the list.

 
Deleting lists

1. Set your "List Info" configuration to not store archives, if applicable.
2. Enter the list, and ensure that the archives are gone.
3. Go to the Members page, and delete all members, including administrators.
4. Go to the Moderate page, and reject any pending messages.
5. Go to the Action Phrases screen and delete all action phrases.
6. Go to the Auto Responders screen and delete all auto responders.
7. Log in as a site admin and click on Mailing Lists.
8. Select the list and delete it.
