Create enterprise distribution lists

When you plan your alerting strategies, you need to identify groups of users to alert across the enterprise and create distribution lists that target the right groups. Distribution lists help the operator send an alert quickly under stressful conditions, reducing the risk of targeting the wrong recipients.
You can populate a distribution list with a static list of users or create a dynamic list based on attributes or queries that are flexible enough to handle changes within the enterprise.
Distribution Lists are not inherited by suborganizations.
  • Use static distribution lists when the group is small or very stable, or when certain people (instead of roles) must receive alerts.
  • Use dynamic distribution lists when there are large groups that need to be targeted, or when personnel frequently change roles.
Use the
Organization
 attribute to search for users across multiple organizations when creating static distribution lists. You can also use this attribute in an advanced query when creating a dynamic list.
