List Map Upgrades - Open the list view of the records on your map.

Let's say you are looking to do an event and want to invite all of your contacts in a neighborhood or region to join. We've now made this process much simpler. Go to your contacts list. Choose all contacts or choose a custom filter that fits your use case. Then click the map icon in the top bar or click "Map List" in the List Exports tile on the left.

Zoom on the contacts you want to focus on. Here I'm going to zoom in on Span. The right panel will show the contacts in my zoomed window.

Next we'll click "Open Zoomed Map Records" to open the list view with just the contacts in your zoomed view. In my case this is all the records in Spain

If you wish, save this view to your custom Filters so you can open it up later

Note: for this feature make sure you have mapbox enabled. See Geolocation

Now. What if we wanted to send an email to this list to invite them to the event? See the next section.

Bulk Send a emails to your Contact list

Send an email to any list of Contacts in your Disciple.Tools site by going to Contacts and filtering the list the way you want it.

You'll come to a screen like this that allows you to edit a message that will be sent out. Note that there is no-reply address to this email. If you want a response back from your list of contacts then you will need to add an email address or a webform link to the body of the email address.

Whether you are using Disciple.Tools to manage a list of intercessors for a prayer campaign or to serve a group of disciples that you're wanting to train (or many other use cases), this new feature will be an upgrade for you. The Bulk Send Message feature is another way to communicate with those you are serving.

List Filters: Support Text & Communication channels

Create filters for text fields (name, etc) and for communication channel fields (phone, email, etc). You can search for:

• all the records that match a specific value for your selected field
• all the records that don't have your specific value in the selected field
• all the records that have any value in the selected field
• all the records that don't have any value set in the selected field

Performance mode

Some default D.T behaviors are nice, but can be slow on systems with a lot of contact and group records. This update introduces a setting to put D.T into "Performance Mode" which disables slow features. You'll find this setting in WP Admin > Settings (D.T) > General:

The first feature that is disabled is the counts on contact and croup list filters. Enabling performance mode skips calculating those numbers.

CSV Export on list page

See and trigger scheduled jobs

Disciple.Tools uses "Jobs" when a lot of actions need to happen. For example we want to send 300 users an email with a magic link. Since this might take a while, D.T will create 300 jobs to process and send the 300 emails. These jobs are processed in the background (using cron).

In this new page in WP Admin > Utilities (D.T) > Background Jobs you can see if there are any jobs waiting to be processed. And you can manually trigger them to be sent if you wish.

Dynamic Layers Map

Answer questions like:

• Where is the nearest multiplier to a contact?
• Where are the active groups?
• Where are new contacts coming from?
• etc

Pick and choose what data you want to display on the map as different “Layers”. For example you can add:

• Contacts with the Status: “New” as one layer.
• Contacts with the “Has Bible” as another layer.
• and Users as a third layer.

Each layer will show up as a different color on the map allowing you to see different data points in relation to each other.
