CPP Distribution List FAQ

The following descriptions follow the same order as the items of the CPP List Request Form.

First page:

Requestor information:

Name

Name of the person requesting the Listserv.  This person "owns" the List and is responsible for its proper use and maintenance

UNO E-mail address

UNO e-mail address of the requestor.  This is needed for sending a verification of the request

Department/Unit

Name of the department (or unit) to which the requestor belongs

Phone number

Phone number where the requestor can reached in case additional information is needed

 
Chair/Director information:

Name

Name of the department chair (or unit director); the person who actually approves the request for a Listserv distribution list

UNO E-mail address

UNO e-mail address of the requestor's chair/director

 
Listserv information:

List of owners

Enter the UNO e-mail address of each owner of the list; one address per line.  Each of these addresses cannot be an alias; i.e., the name must not contain a period.  So you must use Jsmith@uno.edu rather than John.Smith@uno.edu.

Preferred name

Name of the CPP distribution list.  This represents the middle third of the complete name of the list, each third separated by a period.  The first third is the name of the college or department; the last third is the word "List".  Because the complete name will appear in the Global Address List of Outlook, the first two thirds should be easily visible in the narrow window.  Therefore, these first two thirds of the complete name should be no longer than 25 characters.  While the name can contain any mixture of upper and lower case letters, be aware that upper case letters are "wider" than their lower case counterparts.  For example, if the College of Education requested a list with a name of "PR", then the complete list name would be COED.PR.List.  Hyphens "-" and underscore "_" characters area allowed within the middle third of the complete name.

Alternate name

Second choice for the CPP list to be created in case the preferred name is already in use. 

Display name

The full name that will be displayed in the "To:" part of the heading of each sent message.

Reason/purpose

Brief statement why the CPP List is needed

Extra comments

Any comments the requestor may wish to communicate to the UCC staff that will create the CPP List.  (This item may be left blank.)

Continue

Click this button to conclude the background information and to continue with the specification of the desired components of the CPP List.

Reset

Click this button to remove all entered information of this page so that the request from can be filled in anew.

Second page:

Valid CPP combinations

This drop-down list contains the available valid CPP combinations.  The requestor must select one or other combinations from this list.  More than one such combination may be selected (and saved) for constructing the CPP distribution list.  Once a valid CPP combination has been selected, use the "Save this CPP" button to save this trio and then select another.   Each saved CPP trio is listed at the bottom of the page with a check mark.  Un-checking a specific trio will remove the corresponding trio from the formal request for a CPP distribution list.  Therefore, a single CPP distribution list can have several component CPP trios.

 

Valid Career choices

This drop-down list contains the available valid Career choices.  This list is presented only for visual verification purposes.  Selecting one of the available choices does not necessarily constitute part of a valid CPP combination.

 

Valid Program choices

This drop-down list contains the available valid Program choices.  This list is presented only for visual verification purposes.  Selecting one of the available choices does not necessarily constitute part of a valid CPP combination.

 

Valid Plan choices

This drop-down list contains the available valid Plan choices.  This list is presented only for visual verification purposes.  Selecting one of the available choices does not necessarily constitute part of a valid CPP combination.

 

Save this CPP trio

Click this button to save the current CPP trio visible in the first, left hand slot above; i.e., the "Valid CPP combination" slot.  This CPP trio will be listed at the bottom of the page as a reminder of what CPP trios have been selected.  Each saved CPP trio will have a checkbox (which is automatically checked).  Un-checking a specific CPP trio will remove the corresponding trio when the lists of trios are submitted later when the "Submit request for CPP list" button is clicked

 

Reset

Click this button to remove all entered information of this page so that the request from can be filled in anew.

 

Submit request for CPP list

Click this button to conclude the request for the CPP distribution list which will contain the checked components as indicated in the "List of selected CPP designations".  If a specific component is un-checked before this button is clicked, the corresponding trio will be removed from the request to create the CPP List.

Clicking this button will send the request for a CPP distribution list to the chair/director for approval.  If approved, the request is forwarded to UCC to create the list.  A "Thank you" page will be displayed.

If you want to submit a second request for a different CPP list, you must use the Back button of the Browser until you reach the first page of the CPP Distribution List Request Form, where you entered information about yourself and the department chair or unit director.  Once there, you should make any appropriate changes and resume the process of indicating the valid CPP trios for the second distribution list.
