Contact Email List Administrator(s) to Add Employees to Email Lists (If Necessary)

Applicable To

All New Employees

Background

  • Extension has several centrally-managed email lists.
  • Many of these lists are auto-populated with data from the Human Resources System (HRS).
  • Some lists, however, are manually managed and the supervisor will need to contact the list administrator to make sure that the new employee is added (e.g. Area lists)

Instructions

Lists that are NOT auto-populated (Supervisors should work to add new employee)

Email Lists - Area, Zone & County Support Staff Lists

  • New county-based employees will need to be manually added to the Extension Area Lists by the list administrator.
  • Please provide the list administrator with the new employee's NetID.

Lists that ARE autopopulated

Supervisors should only work with the list administrator to add their new employee to the following lists if they will not be auto-populated on the list (e.g. secondary program affiliation).
