You can create an e-mail distribution list based on any defined group. For example, you can send an e-mail to:
· All engineers in the San Francisco office
· All full-time employees that participate in the retirement plan
You can create e-mail distribution lists composed of group members.
In order to use this feature, your chart must include an e-mail field.
Note: See Defining Field Properties for detailed information on defining the e-mail address field.
To create a distribution list for a group:
1 With your chart displayed, select Groups | E-mail Groups from the Chart Menu or click the E-mail Groups icon on the Toolbar to display the E-mail Group dialog box.
2 Under Send Using, select an outgoing e-mail option:
· E-mail Client – Select this option to use your default e-mail client.

Note: You can configure SMTP settings by selecting the Options menu item from the Tools menu. See Using the Options Panel.
3 All the members of the current group are automatically included. You can add or remove recipients using the To, CC, and BCC buttons. You can also manually enter e-mail addresses. Multiple e-mail addresses should be must separated by semi-colons.
