Sending Group Emails

Administrators and Geographic Area Editors can send a group email to the WFDSS user community. The email list is set by the current user list filter. Group email messages are intended for user notifications about events, tips, WFDSS-specific GA announcements or requests. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Upcoming training
• Major system changes
• Geographic Editor communications to users/user groups within the geographic area

Examples of emails to avoid sending:

• Emails to the entire WFDSS user group
• Forwarding feedback responses
• Agency or National policy statements (They appear to be coming from WFDSS and not the appropriate office)

Note: Group email cannot be sent to users with disabled and anonymous user roles.

 To send group emails:

1. Choose the Administration tab and set the appropriate user list filter as the intended recipients.
2. Choose Group Email. The Group Email page appears.

   Note: Email will be sent to the users that currently appear in the user list. Use the filters to select a smaller subset of users. Disabled or anonymous users are not included.

3. Type the subject of the email. This should be short, but descriptive of the message contents.
4. Type the message you want to email to WFDSS users.
5. Review the message for typos, tone, and content.
6. Click Send. The message is emailed to all WFDSS users selected in your filter.
