Tessitura Lists our way to define populations

Here in the Tessitura Community, List Builder is the tool that really helps us flexibly defining populations.  

I notice that a number of the recent posts on this forum are about selecting populations.

• Constituents who bought tickets to more than one performance on the same day
• pulling a list using a contribution source code (In other words who contributed based on a particular outreach)
• Reporting on New Ticket Buyers during an Onsale

I would guess that most of the folks listening to this forum think deeply about the populations they want to analyze, contact, report on...

Have you ever run into problems convincing your colleagues you are working with that being specific about the definition of a population is important. (I know that I have from time to time.)  You might find this article interesting.
