Mailings: Need Approval

 

The Mailings: Need Approval page shows you all mailings which are pending your approval to be sent. Approve or reject mailings quickly by using the Mailings: Approval Wizard (available from the Mailings main page).

 

If you are moderating a discussion list (where members submit mailings to the list), the Approval Wizard helps you work quickly as you approve and delete mailings in the order in which they were submitted. You also have the option of deleting mailings with feedback so contributes know why their mailing was rejected.

 

If you have several lists, the Approval Wizard also gives you an overview of your other lists to approve once you have completed approving messages for the list you're logged into.

 

The Mailings: Approval Summary shows you all the lists you have messages pending approval. You may click Overview to change lists and see the messages pending approval for that particular list. Or, click Approval Wizard next to the list to be taken directly to the Approval wizard for that list.

 

The Mailings: Approval Summary page may be bookmarked for easy reference.

 

Finding a Mailing

Ten mailings for the list are displayed in Mailings: Need Approval. To view more than ten mailings at a time, click on Show More. Repeatedly clicking on Show More will show greater numbers of mailings at a time.

 

You may change the sorting order of the mailings by clicking the up or down triangles next to ID, Title, or Subject. By clicking the top triangle, the sort order will be ascending (a-z); clicking the bottom arrow makes the sort order descending (z-a). Click on next to see the next ten mailings, previous to see the last ten.
