1.3. Distribution Groups

Email distribution lists fall into one of two categories:

_Heirarchy

These distribution lists are based on the Goodwill Organizational Chart and start with an _underscore.  They may go into a bit more detail than the Org Chart, but won't vary from it.  The idea is that you can confidently email a group of people and — based on the Org Chart — know exactly who will receive that email.  These are also 'expandable' meaning you can hit the + sign next to the distribution group to see who it contains.  Higher level lists contain lower level lists, so something like _Goodwill Industries of West Michigan will contain a number of sub-lists that can be further drilled into.

.Normal

All other distribution lists start with a .period.  This is simply to group them at the top so you don't have to scroll through a bunch of names looking for the something that may be a list.  Lists for buildings will not be bold, nor expandable due to their nature.  For instance, .Corporate Users includes everyone at corporate (no matter which side of the double doors you're on).
