Messenger Tabs - Aliases List

The Aliases list allows you to create a single reference name for a group of individuals. By sending a message to that reference name or alias, all the individuals assigned to that alias will receive the message. For instance, you may wish to create an alias for the individuals in the Marketing Department of your company or you may wish to create an alias for those individuals on your In/Out List that share the common interest of hiking.

To create an Alias:

  • At the Name field, enter the reference for your Alias. For example "hikers".
  • At the Members field, enter the names of the members, separated by commas, that you wish to assign to the Alias. For example, "john,sara,susan,edward".
  • Click on the Set button to save the alias and have it displayed on the Aliases list and in the "To" field of the Send Message tab for future use.
Remember to separate the individual names with commas; it is a required convention.
Time saver tip! You can build aliases even faster by using the "In/Out", "Send" and "Contacts" tabs by doing the following:
  • Left-click on the Contacts' In/Out tab
  • Ctrl-left-click on each of the contacts you want in your alias
  • Right-click on one of the selected contacts and select the "Send" item (The "Send" tab will now appear)
  • Highlight the contents of the "To:" field
  • Right-click on the highlighted contents and select the "Copy" option
  • Left-click on the Contacts' Aliases tab
  • Right-click on the Member(s) field and select the "Paste" option


To edit an existing Alias:
  • Click to select the Alias, make your change in the Name or Members field, then click on the Set button.


To delete an existing Alias:
  • Click to select the Alias, then click on the Delete button.
