CCE E-Lists

E-lists make it easy to communicate with groups of people using a single email address. CCE uses e-lists for internal staff communication, regional and program coordination, and outreach to external audiences. Some e-lists are automatically managed based on employment information, while others can be created and maintained by staff for newsletters, programs, committees, volunteers, and subscriber groups.

System-Managed CCE E-Lists

These CCE e-lists are automatically populated and synced using data from Workday and the Org Report which is managed through CCE Business Systems - http://apps.cce.cornell.edu/.  Membership is based on organizational roles, Workday job codes, PWT (Program Work Team) memberships.

  • Association E-lists
    Association e-lists are used to communicate with staff within a specific association or office. Common uses include building closures, office announcements, meeting notices, event information, and other organization-wide updates.
    • Staff are automatically added based on employment and association membership.
      • Example: cce-Monroe-L@lists.cornell.edu
    • If you need an additional person added to an association e-list — such as a volunteer or a regional Ag Team member working with your office — contact your SBN IT Lead Manager or the CCE Helpdesk:  http://helpdesk.cce.cornell.edu/
       
  • Regional E-lists
    Regional e-lists are used to communicate with staff across multiple associations within a Shared Business Network (SBN) region. These messages often include IT alerts, system outages, Workday updates, HR announcements, and other operational communications.
    • Example: cce-western-staff-l@lists.cornell.edu
       
  • Program/Functional E-lists
    Program/functional e-lists are used to communicate with staff based on program area, subject matter, or functional role.
    • Example: pwt-farm-to-school-l

For Administrators of System-Managed CCE E-lists

The CCE Business Systems E-list Management Tool (https://apps.cce.cornell.edu/elist/main/index.cfm) is the primary tool for managing System-Managed CCE E-lists. Use it to view members and manage membership exceptions by adding or removing individual users as needed.

The E-list Management Tool automatically synchronizes membership data with the Simplelists platform in the background. As a result, administrators do not need access to Simplelists to manage their e-lists.

 

Please Note: Some administrators have inherited access to the Simplelists web portal from the Lyris migration. 

  • Please do not modify any of the settings or membership information within Simplelists. Changes made directly in Simplelists can disrupt the automated membership synchronization process. 

  • In particular, do not change the two settings highlighted in the screenshot below, as doing so will disrupt the membership auto-sync for the list.

IMPORTANT!  Do not manually add, remove or edit members directly within Simplelists.  Any membership changes made there will be overwritten during the next synchronization cycle. 

To make membership exceptions, continue to use the E-list Management Tool:  https://apps.cce.cornell.edu/elist/main/index.cfm 

 

 

Locally-Managed CCE E-Lists

Any CCE staff member can create an e-list at no cost using Cornell IT’s Simplelists service.  Many e-lists are already maintained by individual CCE staff, associations, teams and programs for e-newsletters, committees and other program/subscriber groups.
