Blue Folder Lookup

Introduction

The Blue Folder Lookup page allows you to see the details behind that make up the numbers on a report. For example, if you ask for "number of contacts" using the KPI Report Designer, you will get a total number of contacts; next to the number is a blue folder, which will allow you to see the full details of the contacts counted towards that number. The webinar explains its key functions and additional information is below.

In the blue folder you are able to do the following:

• Mail Merge - This process will allow sending emails, letters from the system to the people/organisations or extract the data to a third party application.
• Map View - Se the location of the people/organisations on a map.
• Extract the data - You are able to extract the data into a spreadsheet for analysis. The extraction can include:
  • Additional fields from the person/organisation record.
  • Additional information linked to the record, like benefits, disabilities, project record, extension databases (bespoke fields) and more.
  • Additional information about the referrals (referral based KPI's), including assessments, extension databases and outcome.
  • Use spread sheet templates that can be used for built in analysis for other members of staff.
• Print - Print the summary details that make up the KPI.

The Blue Folder page is split up into three sections:

• Export Options for the Organisations and People in this Report This will export the details based on individuals or organisations to either a mail merge or map. If a person/organisation appears multiple times in the report they will only be exported as one person/organisation.
• Export options for this report - Allows the Report Data to be exported with additional information for analysis.

Export Options for the Organisations and People in this Report

This section will export the details based on individuals or organisations to either a mail merge or map. If a person/organisation appears multiple times in the report they will only be exported as one person/organisation. There are two facilities:

Mail Merge

The mail merge option is powered by Mail Merge Formats which allow the records to either:

• Produce a letter - This will allow the printing of multiple letters to the recipients.
• Produce an Email - This will allow the batch of multiple letters to the recipients. It would be recommended to send no more than 300 (use extra criteria on Mail Merge Formats to filter recipients) at a time and to use your own Email Server.
• Text Messages - Allows bulk texts to be sent using the TextAnywhere service.
• 3rd Party Mail Merge - The system will produce a spread sheet to use with other systems like Mail Chimp or MS Word.

To configure a new Mail Merge Format click on the link 'Mail Merge Format', you will need to re-run the report. If you open up the Mail Merge Format in a new tab you will need to refresh press F5 on the keyboard) the Blue Folder page once its set up.

NOTE : Choosing a mail merge format will not apply any extra criteria set up in in the mail merge format. The only further filtering it will do is via the consent options.

Select the mail merge format you wish to use and click the 'Confirm Mail Merge' button. Depending on the type of format selected you will then be taken through the next steps:

Export to Spreadsheet

Depending on your internet browser you will be prompted to open or save the spread sheet.

Generating SMS (text messages)

You will be displayed a list of recipients. By default any record that has the Mobile Telephone Number completed on will display this number (you can use a different number via the drop down), otherwise there will be a drop down to select the appropriate number. If the persons name is crossed out with a warning triangle then there is no numbers available on the record. If you wish to exclude a person then select none in the drop down menu.

At the bottom of the lest you will find the message box to enter the details of the message. There is also a counter to show how many characters have been entered and how text messages that are needed to send the message. Most modern phones will relieve the messages as if it was one message. Once completed click the 'Send SMS' button to send, or 'Cancel' to return to the report. When you click send you will receive a message informing you how many TextAnywhere credits will be used, click 'OK to send or 'Cancel'. Once send you will then receive the results.

Map View

The Map View will pin point the location of each person/organisation on the map. On the left hand side you will find a list of people/organisations that appear on the map, and below the mapp you will find details of records that are not on the map as they do not have a correct postal code.

On the map you can click a map pin to view the details of the person/organisation and click again to hide the details. You are able to zoom in if required and a full screen option is available. If you want to take a copy you can either take a screen shot or use a snipping tool.

Click the 'Close Window' button to return to the report data.
