Highlights of Send Message

SendMsg.jpgGiven the collaborative nature of SharePoint, team members need to be able to communicate quickly, and they need to be able to easily reference shared content stored in SharePoint’s lists and libraries. Whether a user needs to alert someone to a needed change in a specific item, or they want to get in contact with someone associated with an item to understand it better, simplifying that communication can increase collaboration and help ensure content stays up-to-date and valuable.

Send Message is a simple way to allow SharePoint users to send a custom messages directly from a list item to any number of users, and include a link back to the item for reference. The recipients can be prepopulated based on any combination of user and group fields found in the list. Administrators can control who the message appears to come from, including the user initiating the message, a default SharePoint address, a custom admin-defined address, or they can even allow user-defined addresses.
