9.1 Sending E-Mail from within Vibe

Novell Vibe enables you to send e-mail messages to your co-workers from a variety of places within Vibe, and for a variety of reasons.

9.1.1 Informing Others about a Folder or Workspace

Vibe enables you to send an e-mail message to inform others about a specific folder or workspace.

This option is functional only if you have an e-mail account assigned to you in Vibe. To assign an e-mail account to your Vibe profile, see Section 2.11.4, Adding and Modifying Delivery Destinations.

  1. Navigate to the folder or workspace that you want to inform others about via e-mail.

  2. Click Workspace or Folder in the Action toolbar, then click one of the following options:

    • E-Mail Team: E-mails team members who are associated with this folder or workspace.

    • E-Mail Contributors: E-mails all users who have added entries or comments to the current page.

    The Send E-Mail page is displayed.

    A link to this folder or workspace is automatically created in the Message field.

  3. Fill in the appropriate fields.

    For information on filling in the rest of the Send E-Mail form, see Section 9.4, Filling Out the Send E-Mail Page.

  4. Click OK.

9.1.2 Informing Others about an Entry

You can send an e-mail notification to inform other Vibe users about a new or existing folder entry. For information on how to do this, see Section 7.10, Notifying Others about a Folder Entry.

These options are functional only if you have an e-mail account assigned to you in Vibe. To assign an e-mail account to your Vibe profile, see Section 2.11.4, Adding and Modifying Delivery Destinations.

9.1.3 Configuring Folders to Send E-Mail Notifications to Other Users

If you are the owner of a folder, you can configure that folder to send e-mail notifications to specific Vibe users.

For information on how to do this, see Configuring Folders to Send E-Mail Notifications to Other Users in the Novell Vibe 3.4 Advanced User Guide.
