Contents of the Email Remittance Dialog Box

Use the fields and options to set up the email message.

Recipient Options Section

Use this section to define the list of recipients who will receive the email or notification. The options that display depend on your settings and the application that you are working in. You can select groups of recipients in the Select Attendees From field, use the Email Recipient list to select individual users, or enter specific email addresses in the To, CC, or BCC fields.

Field	Description
Select Attendees From	Use this list to select a group of recipients who will receive the email or notification. For example, if you select Role, the Email Recipient list populates with all available security roles. When you select a role, all users in that role will receive the email or notification. Or, if you select Employees, the list changes to display all employees. After making a selection, you can specify a second option to create a mixture of recipient records. For example, after you specify a security role and the associated recipients, you can also select contacts to receive the email message or notification. Users: Select this setting to display a list of enabled users. Select one or more user names. These users will receive the email message or notification. Roles: Select this setting to open the Role Search dialog box and then select one or more security roles. All users in the designated roles will receive the email message or notification. Contacts: Select this setting to open a list of contacts from the Contacts hub. All selected contacts will receive the email message. Employees: Select this setting to open a list of active employees from the Employees hub. Select one or more names from this list. All selected employees will receive the email message. Project Role: Select this setting to open the list of security roles that are available for the project. You can only select one project role at a time. All users in the selected role will receive the email message. Employee Fields: This setting applies only when you open this dialog box from Settings > Workflow > User Initiated Workflows or Settings > Workflow > Scheduled Workflows. Select this setting to open a selection dialog box, on which you can choose one or more fields that are associated with the workflow type. For example, for the Projects hub there are Project Manager, Supervisor, Principal, and other key employees and user defined employee fields. When you use Employee Fields, Vantagepoint duplicates each field with one of the versions being denoted as (Old). In this case, Project Manager and Project Manager Old will be in the list. This designation allows you to choose either the original (old) project manager or a new project manager for situations when the workflow is being triggered due to a change in project manager assignment. When the event is triggered, the email or notification will be sent to the employees who are associated with the record's selected fields. Approval Roles: This setting applies only when you open this dialog box from Settings > Workflow > Approval Workflows. Select this setting to open an approval role selection dialog box, on which you can select multiple approval roles. The approval roles listed on the dialog box will be associated with the approval workflow type. For example, for Absence Requests, there will be Supervisor, Timesheet Group Admin, Organization Approval Role, and user defined fields from the Employees hub. When the approval event is triggered, then the email or notification will be sent to the employees who are associated with the record's selected approval roles.
To, CC, BCC	Click these buttons to automatically add the recipients who were selected in the Select Attendees From field or Recipient List to the respective email fields. For example, if you are using workflows, specify Roles, and then select three security roles, when you click +To the names of those three roles will automatically display in the To field. You can also click these buttons to open the respective email fields and then manually enter email addresses: To: Use this field to send emails to primary recipients. You can enter the email address directly in this field and then press ENTER on your keyboard to add another recipient. CC and BCC: To send copies to recipients other than the primary recipients, enter one or more email addresses for CC and BCC recipients. If you want to send copies to multiple addresses, press ENTER on your keyboard after typing each email address. If you add one or more records of individuals who do not have an associated email address, you receive a message that alerts you to the issue and provides prompts to correct the error.
