A: EmailForwardSetting
Instructions for Principals on How to Set Up Email Forward
To allow the Email Forwarding option, go to Settings and click on the FDmail option in the left hand menu. The explanations for settings #1, #2 and #3 are listed below the image.

Setting #1 - If you check mark this setting, you will be allowing the staff at your school to use Email Forwarding. Please note that the only person(s) who is able to Allow Email Forwarding is the person(s) whose staff account has been flagged as 'Principal' by the FastDirect HelpDesk. Make sure to click the 'Save Changes' button in the top right hand corner of the screen to process this change.
Setting #2a and 2b - Once you have allowed Email Forwarding and clicked 'Save Changes', you can now choose if you would like the Email Forwarding option to be automatically selected or manually selected. In each FDmail message compose box, there is a drop down where the sender can choose to 'Email Forward' or 'Do Not Email Forward' (this is the same drop down for email notifications).

(#2a) Email Forward [Recommended setting] means that the drop down will automatically be set to 'Email Forward'.
This is the drop down option that will automatically be selected for the 'Auto Select Email Forward' setting.
If the sender does not want to Email Forward, then they can select 'Do Not Email Forward' on an individual message basis.

(#2b) Do Not Email Forward means that the drop down will automatically be set to 'Do Not Email Forward'.
This is the drop down setting that will automatically be selected for the 'Do Not Email Forward' setting in Settings.
If the sender would like to email forward the FDmail message, then they can select 'Email Forward' on an individual basis.
Setting #3 - After allowing Email Forwarding and selecting 'Email Forward' or 'Do Not Email Forward', you must decide if you would like the parents at the school to be automatically opted IN of Email Forwarding or automatically opted OUT of Email Forwarding. This setting is only available during this initial set up and once you have chosen either in or out, it will no longer be available. Please note that your parents will always have the option to change their individual settings. Make sure to click the 'Save Changes' button in the top right hand corner of the screen to process these changes.
Note - These highlighted links allow any administrator to view or edit a collected list of all parents or all staff and their email addresses and whether they are opted IN or OUT.
