You can send email to a large group of people from Colleague. It also allows you to send messages on behalf of another address. This is not the easiest method for sending everyday emails, but may be helpful when sending to a list of ID numbers (either from Colleague or an Excel spreadsheet). Please note that you will need access to the SLED screen in Colleague to complete this task.
Please note that some saved lists are already created. If you are using a list that is already created, you can skip the steps for creating a new list and can go directly to the Send Message section.
