Let's Talk about Lists -- I would love a List Import Queue (wireframe included)
We ran into issues with list imports the other day that was due to a cluster issue in the sydney datacenter where our instance is hosted. We had 4 lists that were "being imported" and never finished even after 4 days. This got me thinking, we have a Campaign Queue, why not have a List Import Queue/History... This could get cumbersome with how some of us use lists (campaign Triggering) but if it is either tabbed or categorized, based on the following it should be easy to filter and troubleshoot:
Possible List Actions:
- List Import
- API List Import
- Flow: Addition
- Flow: Removal
Here is a quick and rough mockup -- forgive any inconsistencies, I'm writing in stream of consciousness.
| Status | Action | List Name (With List ID and Link) | Program/Location Name (With Program/Location ID and Link) | Start Day Date & Time | End Date & Time | View list of... |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In Process | List Import | LI 10 -- Import to Program (LI124488) | EVSP 2017-07 -- My Sponsored Event -- MKTO-SFDC (PG2430) | 7/11/2017 10:00:00 | 7/11/2017 10:03:00 |
|
| Queued | API List Import | LI 10 -- Import to Program (LI12498) | PROB 2017-07 -- My Promotional Outbound Lead Gen Program -- MKTO-SFDC (PG2410) | 7/10/2017 14:00:00 | 7/10/2017 14:05:00 |
|
| Complete | Flow: Removal | LI -- My Global Static List (LI1244) | Lead Database (ML0) | 7/9/2017 15:05:00 | 7/9/2017 15:05:32 |
|
| Completed With Error | List Import | LI 10 -- Import to Program (LI124401) | EGEB 2017 -- My Ebook Program -- MKTO-SFDC (PG2435) | 7/8/2017 08:00:00 | 7/8/2017 08:00:00 |
|
| In Process / Stuck | Import to List | LI 10 -- Import to Program (LI124307) | EMOP 2017-07 -- Operational Email -- MKTO-SFDC (EBP435) | 7/7/2017 10:00:00AM |
| |
| Complete | Flow: Addition | LI -- Static List (LI1244) | Lead Database (ML0) | 7/6/2017 15:00:00 | 7/6/2017 15:01:32 |

Lastly, this type of view could be helpful for any asset, program, smartlist etc. Could be more widely applied.
If this is already on your docket as part of an upcoming release mentioned at summit -- my bad, but I hope it helps 
Cheers,
