List Dispositions

Written by Boni Newberry

List Dispositions

List dispositions help you track progress for each contact in a list. They act as status labels so you can quickly see who you’ve contacted, what happened, and what’s next.

This is especially useful for call-down lists, outreach campaigns, or any workflow where you need clear visibility into engagement progress.

What is a Disposition?

A disposition is a labeled, color-coded tag applied to a contact within a specific list.

Common examples include:

  • Not Attempted (gray)

  • Left Voicemail (yellow)

  • Connected (green)

  • Do Not Call (red)

Your admin defines these options once in Settings > Data Setup > List Dispositions, and the entire team selects from the same standardized set.

Applying a Disposition

You can assign a disposition directly from a contact’s row in any list:

  1. Click the disposition chip

  2. Select a value from the dropdown (name + color)

  3. The update is applied instantly

Key behaviors:

  • Changes sync in real time—anyone viewing the list will see updates immediately

  • Each update is logged, allowing you to track how long a contact remained in each disposition

  • To remove a disposition, select the “×” option at the top of the picker

Filtering by Disposition

Use the Disposition filter at the top of the contacts page to segment your list and focus your efforts.

Common use cases:

  • Follow-up targeting: Filter to Left Voicemail to retry outreach

  • Work queue: Filter to Not Attempted to see who still needs contact

  • Performance tracking: Filter to Connected to measure outreach success


Where Dispositions Apply

Dispositions are specific to a contact + list combination, not global.

This means:

  • The same contact can have different dispositions across different lists

  • Each campaign or workflow maintains its own independent status tracking


Managing Dispositions

New accounts begin without any dispositions configured.

Before using this feature:

  1. A user with the Owner and or Manager user role must create at least one disposition in Settings → Data Setup → List Dispositions

  2. Add common starter values such as:

    • Not Attempted

    • Left Voicemail

    • Connected

    • Do Not Call

You can expand and refine your disposition set over time as your outreach process evolves.

Converting a Report to a Contact List

Swivel reports—such as Sales, Appointments, Commissions, Opportunities, Products, Birthdays, and Referrers—provide filtered views of your data.

When you’re ready to take action on a group of contacts from a report, you can convert that view into a contact list in a single step.

How to Convert a Report to a Contact List

You can turn any supported report into a contact list in just a few clicks, making it easy to take action on a filtered group of contacts.

📌 Note: As part of the conversion process, you can decide whether to share the list or not.

Steps

  1. Open any supported report (Sales, Appointments, Commissions, Opportunities, etc.)

  2. Apply your desired filters

  3. Click the ⋮ (three-dot menu) in the top-right corner

  4. Select one of the following options:

Conversion Options

Convert to Dynamic List
Creates a list that continuously updates based on your selected filters.

  • Re-runs the same filter criteria each time you view or use the list

  • Automatically includes new contacts that match in the future

  • Best for ongoing workflows or campaigns

📌 Note: Dynamic lists are not available for all report types.

Convert to Static List
Creates a fixed list based on the current results.

  • Captures only the contacts that match at the time of conversion

  • Does not update automatically if data changes later

  • Best for one-time outreach or point-in-time snapshots


FAQs

What

Nothing. The report is unchanged. The new contact list is an independent record.

Which reports support which conversions?

Report

Convert to Dynamic

Convert to Static

Sales Report

Appointment Report

Commission Report

Opportunity

Product Reports

Birthdays

Referrer Reports

Some reports (Sales, Appointment, Commission, Opportunity) only offer Static because their filters are tied to report-specific things (start/end date, status, etc.) that don’t translate well to a live filter.

What happens if I Archive a disposition?

  • Removes it from the selection menu going forward

  • Preserves all historical data and reporting

  • Contacts currently assigned to it will retain that value
