How To Create Mailing Labels for Resident Contacts

This guide explains how we can use the Contacts report to create a Mailing Label document. This is an easy way to the print names and addresses to label paper.

1. Click here and Save this template file to your computer with the MS Word (.docx or .doc) file format.
2. In ALIS, access the Contacts report. Go to Reports, find the Resident section, and click Contacts. 
3. Update the report filters as needed so that you generate only the Contacts you need to print.
   • You can use the Contact Preference filter to just show people who prefer "Email & Mail" or "Mail".
     Note: The Contact Preference filter is only helpful if you have made a selection in the Contact Preference menu for each individual contact. This menu is below the contact's name when you are adding or editing a contact. See below:
     If you aren't sure if this has been selected for everyone, you can also check the Unspecified checkbox in the report.
   • Click the Refresh button on the right to apply your filters.
4. Click the Generate Mailing Labels button. 
5. Click Browse to upload the Template file from Step 1.
   • It is recommended to click the checkbox 'Print labels only for records with complete address information'.
   • If you leave this unchecked, you may generate labels that only contain the name of a contact if they have no address information on their Contact Details page.
6. Click Generate Mailing Labels button and Save the file to your computer. This document will be ideal for printing on your label paper!
