Adding Digests to Existing Groups

To add a digest to an existing group, do the following:

  1. Verify that you have an existing group.  (If necessary, create the group.)  When a group to which you wish to add a digest is created, two items must be specified:

  1. Edit the exist group.  (There are many ways to edit a group. We suggest using simply My Place, My Groups and clicking the Edit icon next to the group to which you wish to add a digest.)

  2. On the Group Edit screen, click Create group digest in the Group Communication Tools section.

  3. CNAV will prompt you to confirm the digest creation.

  4. Click OK. CNAV adds the digest.  

  5. Change the digest type, if necessary.  By default, CNAV creates all new digests as monitored digests.  (For details on the differences between digest types, click here.)  When you return to the Edit Group screen after creating a digest, you will note a new option under Group Communication Tools.

  6. Select the type of digest you wish to create from the provided drop-down list.

  7. Click the Request a security mode for your digest link.  CNAV forwards your request to the System Administrator.  (Even if you are a System Administrator, you cannot actually change the digest type from the Edit Group screen. Instead, you must use the Digest Maintenance tool provided under CNAV Tools, Maintenance.)

At this point, you can designate the users to receive access to this digest by adding members to the group. Follow the same steps as you would to add members to any group.

 

Digest Reading Options

Once CNAV adds a digest, the My Groups listing for the associated group changes accordingly.

Note that [read digest via email] is a toggle switch. By default, CNAV assumes that you wish to read all digests using My Digests or My Groups. That is, CNAV assumes that you wish to read digests via CNAV. If you wish to receive a digest via email instead, click on the [read digests via email] link.  When you ARE reading a digest via email, CNAV provides a link to [read digest via cnav].
