Open the Distribution Lists folder () under Student > Communicate
Distribution Lists are dynamic lists that capture specific information pertaining to Students in your organization. With this tool you can create Lists of Students that match certain criteria (e.g. Active Students/ Apprentices)
Click the New Distribution List button at the top of the page. New Filter selections will then become available.
Give the Distribution List a Name. In the New Filter section: select all filters that are applicable to the information you wish to produce on your list. Start with the Related Table list. This will allow you to select what area of the UNITE platform you wish to pull the information from. The available options include:
- Student Roster (All current Organization Students)
- Position
- Voter
- Custom Fields
- Communications
Select all filters that you wish to apply to your Distribution List from the corresponding drop-down list options. Each Selection should have an end-value associated to the information filter. Click the + Save Distribution List button when finished. The New Distribution list will automatically load the list information at the bottom of the page.
The applied filters will produce a list of all Active Students in the Organization, which will be displayed at the bottom of the page.
You can now add new filter-selections that you wish to further-narrow your Distribution List.
