E-mail a Reference to Portal Content

The SAS Information Delivery Portal enables you to create e-mail messages that contain one or more URL addresses for portal content items. Use one of the following methods to create the e-mail:
  • To e-mail the URL address for a file, link, package, publication channel, information map, stored process, or syndication channel:
    1. Display the item whose URL address you want to e-mail. (For details about displaying content, see About Viewing Content.)
    2. Click E-mail in the toolbar.
  • To e-mail the URL address for a page or a portlet:
    1. Use the search tool to find the page or portlet.
    2. In the search results panel, click the name of the page or portlet. The page or portlet is displayed in the viewer.
    3. Click E-mail in the toolbar.
  • To create an e-mail that contains up to 10 different URL addresses:
    1. Create a bookmark for each content item that you want to include. For details, see Create a Bookmark.
    2. In the Bookmarks portlet, select the check box for each content item that you want to include. Select a maximum of nine items.
      Note: If the Bookmarks portlet does not appear on any of your portal pages, you can add it. For instructions, see Add Your Bookmarks Portlet.
    3. In the Bookmarks portlet, click E-mail.
The portal uses the default e-mail program, as defined in your browser, to create an e-mail message. The URL address(es) for the content item(s) appears in the body of the message. You can now enter the recipient's e-mail address and send the message.
When a user accesses portal content through a URL address, the portal checks the user's credentials to determine whether the user is allowed to view the content.
