Alert have been sent to the distribution list. Click the icon to see the individual alerts.
The distribution is automatically updated during the Application Gateway synchronization with your LDAP server or CSV directory file.
Automatically created distribution lists
If you have configured the Application Gateway to obtain department information from a directory source (LDAP or CSV), Broadcast Server will automatically create and update distribution lists based on the department corresponding to each IP telephone extension. Department names longer than 50 characters are truncated.
The distribution list is updated each time that the Application Gateway detects a new or changed IP telephone. If you move users and devices between different “departments”, the changes are reflected in Broadcast Server after you resynchronize the server. If a device becomes obsolete, you can manually remove it from Broadcast Server.
Note Automatically created distribution lists cannot be renamed or have their recipients changed. Broadcast Server updates this information.
By default, an automatically created distribution list is privately owned by the administrator.
List ownership
The Owner column (available to the system administrator only) contains the name of the user who currently owns the distribution list. The administrator can change ownership of distribution lists, assigning them to another user for their private use, or sharing them among other Broadcast Server users.
