Address Book Utility

  • Last updated on

The Address Book Utility enables you to perform various operations on Address Books. The operations are listed in Step 2 below

Note that you can only run a utility on a campaign that is past its cutoff date. You cannot run a utility on a live campaign. 

To perform an operation:

  1. Navigate to System > Address Book Utility and click New.
  2. Select one of the action types.
    Additional steps needed for each action is described in Step 3 below.
    • Activate Email Addresses – In the target Address Book, activates addresses that also exist in the source Address Book.
    • Create a Copy – Creates an exact copy of an existing Address Book.
    • Deactivate Email Addresses – Deactivates addresses in the target Address Book that also exist in the source Address Book.
    • Merge (2) Address Books – Merges data from a source address book into a target Address Book.
    • Update Adhoc Click Count   – Counts the number of clicks in a specified time frame for all addresses in a single Address Book.
    • Update Columns – Remaps fields and/or applies static values to fields in a single Address Book. 
    • Update Repeat Offender Status – Applies Offender or Non-Offender status to all addresses in a single Address Book, based on historical click count.

      The following actions manipulate data in a single Campaign, not within the Address Book. For these actions, you will likely create a separate Address Book, containing only information for the users you want to act on for a specific campaign.
    • Add Incident Responses per Source Address Book  – Adds Phish Reporting Button responses for emails listed in the source Address Book for the campaign(s) specified.
    • Add Training Completed per Source Address Book  – Marks Training as Complete for emails listed in the source Address Book for the campaign(s) specified.
    • Remove Body, Subject, and Attachments from Email Inbox – Removes potentially sensitive data received when a user reports a campaign email as a phishing attempt.
    • Remove Clicks per IP Address – Removes clicks for IP addresses you list in the IP Address Block for the campaign(s) specified.
    • Remove Clicks by IP Organization – Removes clicks for the selected IP Organization for the campaign(s) specified. The IP Organization is the organization subletting the IP address range from the ISP. 
    • Remove Clicks by ISP – Removes clicks for the selected ISP (Internet Service Provider) for the campaign(s) specified. The ISP is the organization to which the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) directly assigned the IP address range.
    • Remove Clicks by Machine Click Score – Removes clicks determined to most likely have been made by a machine or software, and not by a human. For example, a click might be registered to a campaign when email security software is scanning the campaign email to identify malicious links. A click is registered, but a human campaign participant did not physically click a link. Removing machine clicks enables you to focus on results for human campaign participants. For more information on machine clicks, refer to Understanding Clicks.
    • Remove Clicks per Source Address Book  – Removes clicks for emails listed in the source Address Book for the campaign(s) specified.
    • Remove Logins per Source Address Book  – Removes logins for emails listed in the source Address Book for the campaign(s) specified.
