Digest Emails

As a group adviser, you will receive emails with a digest of all activity in student groups you advise. These digest emails include notifications of new content, updated content, and any changes to your status as adviser of the group. These digest emails should be monitored to keep track of activity within your groups.

Forwarding Digests While Out of Office

Activity in groups should be monitored at all times. When out of the office, you can easily forward your digest emails by following these steps:

  1. Within Outlook’s Mail view, in the Tools menu, click Out of Office Assistant. The Out of Office Assistant command does not appear unless you are using an Exchange Server e-mail account and you are in the Mail view.
  2. Click "I am currently Out of the Office."
  3. Click on the "Add Rule..." button in the lower left corner of the screen.
  4. Enter "dsa-web@columbia.edu" in the "From..." field.
  5. Check the "Forward" checkbox and enter the users to whom you would like your digests forwarded.
  6. Click OK and OK again.
