Email Users

Besides invitation emails, you can send other emails to users from SAS App Central as needed. For example, you might want to email users when a new SAS application becomes available.
Tip
To simplify emailing, you can create your own locale-specific email templates with predefined letterheads, formatting, variables, and text. See Managing Email Templates.
To send an email (either free-form or based on a template):
  1. On the Users tab, click Email and select Send Email.
  2. If you want to use an email template, complete these steps:
    1. On the Send Email page, select a locale for the message.
    2. In the Template drop-down list, select the template that you want to use. The list includes all of the available templates for the selected locale.
      The template content is displayed on the subject line and in the message box.
  3. To specify the recipients, click Select next to the To field.
    In the Email Recipients window, use the check boxes to specify which users are to receive the email. To send the email to all users, select the check box in the first row.
    Click OK.
  4. Enter or edit the subject line.
  5. Enter or edit the message text in both HTML and text formats, using the Message type radio buttons to toggle between the two formats. You can include the following variables in the message:
    Variable Name
    Description
    $USER_NAME$
    The email address of the user receiving the email.
    $CLOUD_URL$
    The URL that your organization uses to access the SAS Cloud.
    $ACCOUNT_NAME$
    The name of your SAS Cloud account.
  6. Click Send.
