Group Mailing Lists is a system offered by CAEDM that allows a user to send mass emails to all members of a group quickly and efficiently. This is especially useful for professors or group leaders to communicate with all of the members of a project group or research group, but it is available to all CAEDM users to use as they need.
Benefits of this system include:
  • Being able to send emails to several groups at once without having to copy and paste all of their emails to the recipient box.
  • Setting security protocols defining who can send emails using the mailing list, and requiring editor's review to permit a mass email to be sent.
