2.3.3 Create Mailing List

With Mailing Lists, you are able to add multiple recipients to a visit report with a single click. In case the tab Mailing Lists is not available you need to create this tab first. The first four steps will show you how to create this tab. If the tab already exists, skip to step #5 to create a new mailing list.
Please note: Mailing Lists are only used for print media visit reports.

Create New Tab

To create a new tab, follow these steps:

1. Open the User Setup.

To create the Mailing List tab, select the corresponding value from the pick-list Object. Then choose an image to represent the tab (1). You are free to add additional information on the tab as a description. To continue, click Next (2).

Set Visibility

The new tab's visibility can be customized. First, you select on kind of visibility to all profiles you can choose whether it shall be visible per default (1). If you select "Default On", the new tab will automatically be displayed in the tab bar. If not, users find the tab under the All Tabs menu.
