FACULTY: How do I create personal contact lists in Outlook for Web?

Summary

Creating a contacts distribution list is a two-step process. The first step is to decide where you will store the distribution list. You can save it in an Address Book or in your Contacts folder. The second step is to add your contacts to the list.

Body

A contact group is a way to send an email to multiple people at a time without having to type in all the emails each time you do it. Note: If you intend to add people from outside the BSU Email Network, you will need to manually create a contact card for each person before adding them to the list. 

If you would like to create a contact list, please follow these steps:

  1. Go to outlook.bridgew.edu and log in 
  2. After the page loads, click the icon of two people ("People" will appear when you hover over it) in the far left navigation toolbar
  3. Click the down arrow next to New Contact and then Select New Contact List. The contact list form will appear. 
  4. Name your contact group
  5. In the Add Members field, start typing the names of the individuals you would like to add.  Click the person's name when it comes up. You can only add those individuals who are in the BSU Global Directory (they have a BSU email account) or for whom you have already created an individual contact card. 
  6. After you have added all desired people, click Save

From the People page you can send a message to everyone in your list simply by clicking on the list title.
