Please check out the "Hermes Template Language" page to view more information regarding how the templating system works.

Hermes List

Use

A Hermes List represents a user configurable mailing list that administrators can send an email to and it be blasted to all users on the list.

Fields

• Users
  • A list of users in the list.  This field is not directly editable, but rather controlled by the rule field.
• Additional Administrators
  • A list of users who can send emails to the list and have their messages blasted.  All users with the "Change Hermes List" permission are automatically able to send to any list.
• Name
  • The name of the list.  This will be appended to your school's prefix.  For example, if you set name to be 'students', and your school's prefix is 'school', the list's address would be "school-students@lists.mytalos.com".  Upon creating a list, Talos will display the address in its complete form.
• Type of List
  • Either student, parent, or staff -- no list can have more than one type.  We recommend creating multiple lists if you wish to send an email to more than one of these groups at a time, and then including all the lists addresses in the TO field of your email.
• Rule
  • The rule that governs the users in the list.  Please see the "Hermes List Rules" page for more information as to how the rules work.
