On the List Manager screen (above), you can view the new List you just created along with its management tools:

  1. In the Action column, there are tools to:
  2. Hide a list from display on this screen (keeps your list shortened)
  3. Append additional names to your list, either manually or uploading a .CSV file
  4. Download those list members who have not yet registered - useful for sending out another round of special invitations
  5. Edit the List Name inline by clicking the pencil icon
  6. Edit the Public List Name (visibile to registrants) inline by clicking the pencil icon
  7. List creation date/time stamp
  8. # Subscribed is the number of contacts in the list
  9. # Unsubscribed is a list of those who clicked the Unsubscribe from this List link in the invitation - rsvpBOOK maintains these unsubscribers across ALL of your events, not just this one; your contact unsubscribe lists are global to your member account
