After you click the "Add a Newsletter Group" button on the main Newsletter and Document Groups page, you will see a screen with a form similar to the one above. Following are descriptions of each of the options shown:
Document Group Name: Enter the name of your Newsletter or Document Group. We suggest selecting a name that is descriptive yet short. You have a description field to enter more detailed information about the group.
Description of Document Group: Enter a description of the group you are creating. This is useful for sites hosting numerous groups as it allows users to easily differientiate between groups.
Email Address of Sender: Everytime a new file is uploaded, an email is sent out to all of the subscribers, if any, of the group. The email will come from the webmaster by default, but you can enter a custom email address here if you would like the emails to appear as though they are coming from someone besides the webmaster.
Document List Order: You have the option to sort your group items alphabetically or chronologically with arrows. If you are providing a selection of forms, you would likely choose alphabetical, whereas if you were publishing a monthly newsletter, you would like choose chronological/arrows. The arrows appear in the chronological sort to allow you to make any necessary adjustments to the order.
Allow Subscriptions: If you want users to have the ability to sign up for your group online, you can allow subscriptions with this option. Subscriptions come in two flavors, one with demographics, and one without. The demographics option will ask the subscriber for personal information such as name, address, phone, organization, gender and ethnicity. The last two items have "(optional)" next to them, so your users will not feel required to provide this data. Subscriptions without demographics will only collect email addresses.
