There are a number of predefined subscriber lists contained within the SFMC database. Access to these lists are specific to the permissions given to each business unit or department as well to the user. In many cases the user may want to ensure they select the correct list, so they prefer to access and view the list prior to selecting the audience.
NOTE: Users can only view the first 200 items contained within a list. UNH IT is working on functionality to export the lists so that all lines will be able to be seen.
Task: To preview the names contained in existing lists.
