If you’re looking for a way to create a digest of your discussions, you can do it right in Microsoft Outlook or Notes. All you have to do is set up a rule that directs all NetVU Community e-mails to drop into a specific folder. Below are the basic steps for setting up that rule. In Outlook go to:
- Tools > Rules and Alerts > New Rules
- Make sure to use community@netvu.org as the e-mail address
- From there you can customize the setup any way you want
You can set up different folders for specific Forums or use a general community folder. Try different approaches until you find one that works best for you!
Please give us feedback through the Community. Join the “Ask the NetVU Staff” Group to let staff know what you like and don’t like. If you want to play and try new things bring your pail and shovel to the “Sandbox” to have some fun. With your help, we’ll continue to look for ways to improve your NetVU Community.
