- To notify activity members about the response...
- Select Notify people of this entry.
- Do one of the following:
- To notify everyone, select All members of this activity.
This option is not available from a community activity.
- To notify a subset of people, select the boxes next to the names of individual members that you want to notify. To find people, scroll through the alphabetical list of names or type a person's name into the Type to filter this list box. In community activities, if the activity has more than 500 members, you can click Next to see additional names.
The filter searches the names on the current page only. If there are multiple pages, click Next until you get to a page with names in the same alphabetical range as the name you are looking for, and then type the name into the filter box.
- To add a comment that is displayed in the notification that is sent to the members, add it to the Notify Message field.
- Click Save to finish adding the response.
