Find people and add them to a table

Filter Loopster's contact database on the People page and import the matches into a new table.

Written by Umer Ishaq

You can search Loopster's contact database with filters and import the matching people into a new table. Importing people from Loopster's own database is free.

How do I open the People page?

Click People in the left sidebar. The page is called People. Before you set a filter it says: "Start with a filter — Narrow the contact database by title, seniority and location, then pull the matches into a table."

How do I narrow the list down?

Use the Filters panel on the left. It includes Job title, Seniority, Department, Country, State or province and City. Further down are filters for company, size, revenue, months in role, whether someone has an email or phone, and more.

The People page with the Filters panel on the left (Job title, Seniority, Department, Country) and, on the right, the text Start with a filter. The Job title filter is outlined in red.

  1. In Job title, type a title and press Enter. The hint says titles are matched as a phrase against the current title, and to press Enter after each one.

  2. In Country, type a country and press Enter.

The number of matches shows at the top, such as "2 people". It changes as you add filters. The results list shows Name, Experiences, Location and LinkedIn URL for each person.

How do I import the matches?

  1. Click Import to table. A dialog called "Import to a new table" opens and says how many people match.

  2. Check Table name. It is filled in from your search.

  3. To bring in fewer people, type a number in Limit results. Leave it blank to import everyone who matches.

  4. Click the import button. Its label shows how many people it will import, for example Import 2.

The Import to a new table dialog on the People page, saying 2 people match. It has a table name field, Limit results set to All 2, and a note that people from Loopster's own database cost nothing to import, outlined in red. The button reads Import 2.

The button shows "Importing…", a message says how many records were imported, and the new table opens with one row per person.

What does the new table look like?

It has the columns First name, Last name, Full name, Job title, Company, City, State or province, Country, LinkedIn profile and Person record.

Good to know

  • The dialog says: "Free — people from Loopster's own database cost nothing to import. Enrichments you add afterwards are priced as usual."

  • Check Auto-run in the toolbar before you add paid columns. A table imported from the People page can start with Auto-run On. To switch it off, click Auto-run and use the switch. It then says "New rows and values will not run on their own". See Run columns safely: Auto-run, test one row, then run the rest.

  • Filters you set can still be there when you come back to the People page. Check the filters and the count before you import.

  • To find work emails for the people in your table, see Find people's contact details with waterfalls.
