addressing/approaching

Hello!

There's a sentence I need to correct. There seem to be a few mistakes, but first I'd like to focus on one of them only:

"A list of contacts suitable for addressing can be formed according to various criteria, such as the business documents containing the selected item, the type of activities, marketing categorization, assortment of products, etc."

Perhpas, approaching would be better here, wouldn't it?

Many thanks in advance!

Of course! How simple! :-D

Thanks a lot, Clive!

If I may ask, how about the rest of the sentence, does it seem ok to you?

Hi,

"A list of suitable contacts can be formed according to various criteria, such as the business documents containing the selected item, the type of activities, marketing categorization, assortment of products, etc."

My next concern is that what you have listed do not really sound like criteria to me.

Hello,

I suppose the sentence refers to a feature of a database application. It seems the app can filter out data based on user-defined criteria, so if you, for instance, choose a specific "marketing category" together with the "selected item" (whatever that's supposed to mean), the system creates a (narrower) "list of contacts" that you might want to approach....maybe...

Hi,

The way you said it in your last post seems a bttter approach, to me. A bit clearer.
