🚨 Update: Account Mapping Redesign

Crossbeam has redesigned Account Mapping Reports into the new Lists experience, including:

  • A unified Lists workspace for managing account overlaps

  • Private-by-default List creation

  • Updated access roles & sharing options

  • New UI with clearer overlap details

  • Notes for internal collaboration

Learn more about what’s changed → here

Learn how to use the new List→ here

Manage your List by filtering and sorting, configuring columns, sharing, collaborating with Notes, and taking actions like exporting, duplicating, and deleting.

Where to Find Your Lists

The Lists Hub is the central location for all Lists, including historical Lists.

From the Lists Hub, you can:

  • View All Lists, Your Lists, and Lists shared with you

  • Create new Lists or start from System Lists

  • Filter Lists by Partner Overlaps or Owner

  • Organize Lists into folders

You can use the search bar in the Lists Hub to find a List by name.

Once you locate a List, click on it.


✍️ Note

Saved Reports are only available on the Connector and Supernode plans. To upgrade your account, visit the Plan & Billing page.


How to Add Filters to a List

Filters narrow down accounts to specific use case criteria. For example, you can view records based on account type or geographic region. As long as the field exists in your data, you can apply the filter.

Select the Filter button at the top of the list:

  • Select a data source:

    • Click Crossbeam to select your Populations, Partner Populations, or Partner Tags to apply to the List

    • Or select a specific CRM to filter by the available data fields

  • Click Apply when done

  • To apply more granular filtering, open an applied filter and click Convert to Advanced Filter

  • Filter fields by using the comparison operators such as is, is not, is empty, and contains to define filter logic

  • Add additional object fields such as on Account, User, or Opportunity

  • Edit as needed and click Apply when done

Click Apply when done.

Additionally, you can apply a filter within the column header with an arrow.


😎 Pro Tip

Before exporting, use filters to refine your data. This helps you get more targeted results and stay within record export limits.


How to Sort a List

You can sort the List by using either the column header arrows or the Sort button. From either option, select Ascending or Descending to apply the order to the List.

Sorting can be combined with filters to focus on the accounts that matter most.


How to Configure Columns

Configure Columns

To configure columns:

  • Click the Configure Columns button in the List to open the Configure Columns modal

  • Expand the options under Your Data and Partner Data

    • Click the box next to the data to add or remove it from the List

  • The Organize Columns area allows you to rearrange or remove Columns from the List based on the data you have selected

  • Click Save to return to the List


How to Share a List


✍️ Note

The Share button is disabled until a List has been saved. Once saved, the Share button becomes active.


Lists are private by default and dynamic, meaning they update automatically as accounts enter or leave the filter criteria. Sharing a List gives others visibility into that view. Admins have Edit access to all Lists by default, regardless of whether the List has been explicitly shared with them.

After saving the List, click the Share button.

  • Add name or email, click Share

  • Adjust the List access for the team member

    • Set the access level for the team member:

      • Manager: can create, edit, delete, add Notes, and share the List

      • Editor: can create, edit, delete, and add Notes

      • Commenter: can view the List and add Notes

      • Viewer: can view the List

You can see who has access to a List by hovering over the Shared With column in the Lists Hub or by opening the List and clicking Share.


Using Notes

Notes

  • Notes are available in all Lists

  • Notes are List-specific, preventing conflicting context

  • Users with Manage, Edit, or Comment access can add Notes

  • Unread Notes appear bolded

  • Notes are included in List exports

Note Notifications

  • Notifications are sent when someone adds a Note or mentions you

  • Admin and core users receive notifications for Lists they are added to

  • Sales users receive notifications only for Lists they have access to


How to Export a List

In the list, click the Action button and select Export from the dropdown options.

Once the export is complete, an email will notify you.

Click the Download Export button in the email.

😎 Protip

Before reaching your record export limit, consider List notifications. You can get alerted via email or Slack whenever new accounts are added to a List.

See List Notifications to get started.


How to Duplicate or Delete a List

In the list, click the Action button and select Duplicate or Delete from the dropdown options.

Confirm selection

Duplicate

Delete


‼️ Important‼️

Deleting a list is permanent and cannot be undone.


Organizing Lists in the Lists Hub

Beyond viewing and accessing Lists, the Lists Hub lets you keep things organized.


Folders

To add a List to a folder or create a new folder:

  • Check the box next to one or more List
    Once selected, the Action button will appear

  • Click the Action button

  • Choose an existing folder to move the List(s), or select New Folder to create one

To delete a folder:

  • Open the folder

  • Click the edit (pencil) icon

Lists – Explorer Plan Changes

Effective March 4, 2025, the Free Explorer plan will no longer support record exports.


‼️ Important: If you were a Free Explorer customer before March 4, 2025, you’ll keep your current export functionality until July 1, 2025.


Still need exports? If your partner is a Supernode or Enterprise customer, you will automatically receive an Account Mapping Pass, which allows you to export up to 100 records. Click here to learn more.
