Update Lists
Summary
All mailing lists managed by this application are automatically updated once per day before 8am. If any information is changed, a manual update can be run using the Update Lists link. Updating lists will check all members against the campus LDAP. It may take up to 30 seconds to check all members, so please be patient when manually updating lists.
All
Selecting this option will update all mailing lists managed by this application, including faculty and staff, gradstudents, and ugrad mailing lists.
Faculty & Staff
The Faculty and Staff mailing lists should be updated if any of the following is true:
- A Faculty or Staff member's building has changed
- A Faculty or Staff member's email has changed
- A Faculty or Staff member's list membership has changed
If the Faculty and Staff lists are not manually updated after these changes, any changes will be applied the next morning when the automatic update occurs.
Gradstudents

- A grad student is added or removed from the Override List
- A Faculty or Staff member is added or removed from the 'gradstudents' or a 'gradstudents-<department>' list

If any grad student is added or removed from the Override List, or any Faculty or Staff member is added or removed from the 'gradstudents' or a 'gradstudents-<department>' list, the grad student lists should be manually updated. As above, if the grad student lists are not manually updated, any changes will be applied the next morning when the automatic update occurs.
