Q:     What are my options for sharing my school's newsletter?
A: old upload files Below are several options for sharing a newsletter via FastDirect and some highlights of each:
Option 1: FDmail
  • The FDmail message can contain an attachment to the uploaded newsletter, regardless of file type.
  • Attachments can still be opened by recipients through Email Forwarding.
Option 2: Links
  • Once the file has been uploaded, then the link in Links can easily be added or changed.
  • Links provides a great way to list all of the newsletters from previous months.
Option 3: Login Page
  • The Login page link to the newsletter can be created by an Administrator or by HelpDesk.
  • Subsequent newsletters can be uploaded to override the previous newsletter, which eliminates extra work for the administrator.
Option 4: Bulletin Board
  • The newsletter can be added as a link (if .doc or .pdf) or displayed as an image into the Bulletin Board (if .png, .jpg or .gif).
  • A newsletter can also be created directly in a Bulletin Board, much like any new entry.
