You can send an email from AssetWise Web to any person in the community who has an email address as part of their user account information. This is useful when you have exposed one or more objects in the Content pane, and you want to send them out as an email attachment. In general, the option for this (Send Email) is present in the Actions section of the Task pane.

You can also originate email messages from your Basket, and place your frequent e-correspondents in the Basket for easy retrieval.

The following image shows the Send e-mail window when it opens. Your task is to build up your recipient list using any of the three options in the Recipients section.

Option 1: Enter names and numbers — As soon as you enter any text in the Select field, an auto-complete window pops up listing all people who satisfy your entry so far. For example, if your first character is a C, the window will contain any people whose first name, or last name, or code number, begins with C. Click a name at any time to transfer it into the Select field, then click the Select button to transfer that person to the Recipient list above.

Option 2: Select objects from Basket — A list of people stored in your Basket pops up, from which you select recipients.

Option 3: Use the search — A directory search window opens. This search uses the same search syntax and wildcards as the normal AssetWise search function.

Inspect your recipient list to make sure it is complete and accurate. You can delete a name, if necessary, by checking the check box to the left of it and clicking the Remove button beneath the list:

Complete the subject line and message body, then click the Send button to send the email and attachment.
