When you are in a distribution list, you can add names to the list, or you can modify or remove existing names from the list.

If you want to process changes and keep working with the list, click Refresh list. If you are done working with the list, click Close file to process changes, close the list, and return to the Distribution Lists page. You must close the distribution list before moving on to other VM:Webserver for OfficeVision functions.

If you open multiple instances of a distribution list, VM:Webserver for OfficeVision processes only the first changes you submit. You will lose all changes made to the distribution list in other open sessions.

Fields

Add Indicates whether you want to add the name to the distribution list. If this box is not checked for a new name, the name is lost when you process the page.
Remove Indicates whether you want the name removed from the distribution list. (You cannot remove a name by clearing fields.)
Name Names you want to include in the distribution list. One of the types of names you can specify here is the filename of another distribution list. When VM:Webserver for OfficeVision performs a function (for example, sending a note) that uses the current list, it will use all individual names from the current list and all names from any other distribution lists you specify here. If you want to incorporate individual names from another distribution list or nickname file in the current list, use the method described in the next field.
Distribution list
or nickname file
Distribution list or nickname file whose contents (names) you want VM:Webserver for OfficeVision to display in Name fields. Once the names are displayed, you can select only the ones you want to actually incorporate into the current list. VM:Webserver for OfficeVision will clear the unselected names when you process your changes.

You can select a file or list from the dropdown box, which lists all active nickname files, all nickname files of filetype OFSMCNTL, and all distribution lists (filetype OFSMLIST) on minidisks or SFS directories you currently have accessed. If you want to specify a nickname file whose filetype is other than OFSCMNTL, you can do so in the Nickname file fields. Then click the Retrieve button. VM:Webserver for OfficeVision enters all names from the list or file into Name fields. Click the Add checkbox next to the names you want added to the current list. When you process the page, VM:Webserver for OfficeVision clears the unselected names.

Comment Description of the name. You can use a total of 36 alphanumeric characters. VM:Webserver for OfficeVision truncates additional characters.
