How do I add people from my existing "People" database to the endorsement list?

I've figured out how to add someone manually to the Endorsements section

Endorsement Settings -> Endorsements ->Add Endorsement

This creates a new person, that I could conceivably merge with a real voter record later, but that seems inefficient.

When someone already in my voter database endorses offline isn't there a way to just say "Endorsed" and have that kick them into that list?  

I cannot figure out how to get them to show up in the "Who's Endorsing" block on the page.

Thanks!

Hi Brian!

So, there's no way to mass-add endorsers to the endorsement page. Each endorser has to either do it themselves via the endorsement page, or has to be manually added in the control panel. When you're adding the endorser, if you use the same email address as the one they already have in your nation, it won't create a new profile, it will simply update the existing one, so no merging will be necessary.

Let us know if you have any more questions on this at [email protected]!

You can manually add them in your endorsement page > endorsement settings > endorsement.
