Back in the Control Panel, when you’re viewing the members who have signed up, suppose you want to view only certain members in the list. For example, maybe you want to see only the members who signed up before a given date.  This is the purpose of the Select section. 

By the way, you may never need to do a Select. But it's here if you want it.

You can select which members should appear in the control panel list. When you go to this Select Members to Show page, you can select by Name, Username, State/Province, Country or Date Added.

For example, you can select by "Name contains George." That will show you ONLY the members who have "George" somewhere in the firstname or lastname.

Another example: "Date Added is between" and select 2 dates. That will show you only members who signed up between those dates.

Then, when you hit the Select By Above Criteria button, you're taken back to the members on the Control Panel.  Only now you see a list of only the members you selected. Note that if you use Export – Import, it will only export whatever selection is currently in effect.

OK?  Let's look at the Export - Import page...
