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.

     • Enter only one address per line.
       • Any addresses without a domain will be automatically assigned the domain username@et.byu.edu.

5. Add editors

   • Add editors to the list if the editor has to recieve the email also, they must be a subscriber also

   • This is especially important if there are more than one editors

   • Neither will recieve emails unless they are also subscribers
