Dear Members of SAEM Community Groups,
As you likely
already know, SAEM has been working for several months on upgrading
from our former LISTSRV to a newer, feature-rich Community LISTSRV
Discussion platform. Today we are excited to say that the
system is now ready and available to all our Community groups--from
Academies and Interest Groups to Committees and Task Forces to AACEM
and Board members! Please take the time to read through this email,
as it contains essential information that will help you get the most
possible out of this exciting new system.

Summary - Key Points
|
|
- Over the next 48 hours, you will be
auto-subscribed to discussions for all groups you are a part
of. Details
- You
now have many ways to connect using the SAEM Community,
including but not limited to traditional email LISTSRV
functions. Details
- You
can find answers to all your questions here, on the SAEM Community YouTube channel,
and in the SAEM Community Support and Feedback discussions.
|
As we have announced
before, both this new system and the old LISTSRV system will run
concurrently for several weeks, so that we can make sure everything
is running smoothly before making the final switch to using the new
system exclusively in September.
So what does this
mean for you?
Freedom to
Connect in the Way That Works For YOU
Instead of the
one-size-fits-all emails of the old LISTSRV system, the new SAEM
Community Discussions platform gives you four different engagement
options: website, mobile app, mobile website, or email LISTSRV.
View
our introductory video on the Community platform options.
The website and
mobile site work as typical websites and will adapt automatically to
your mobile device. The mobile app runs on iPhone, iPad, and
Android devices. And the Community email LISTSRV now provides
four different subscription options for communicating with other
members of your group:
Real Time
Users set to Real
Time Subscription will receive an HTML email for each Discussion
post. In most cases these emails are sent by the mail server
nearly instantaneously.
Daily Digest
Users with a Daily
Digest Subscription will receive a single HTML email compiling all
posts over a 24-hour period. Delivery time is generally between 1:00
and 5:00 AM Eastern.
Legacy
The Legacy
Subscription level provides the capabilities of a traditional
LISTSRV. Users with Legacy Subscriptions will receive messages from
every post at the same rate as a Real Time Subscription; however
Legacy Subscription emails have several differences:
- Legacy
emails are text-based emails. HTML is stripped (so no text
formatting, special colors, graphics, etc.). This is the same as
the previous SAEM LISTSRV.
- Legacy
emails allow a subscriber to respond to a message or create a
new discussion thread directly from their email system, rather
than having to go to the Community website to post.
- Legacy
emails do not allow direct attachments. Attached files
will appear as links that will take subscribers to the Community
site to view or download the file. This feature is helpful
since large files can be rejected by email server message size
restrictions or blocked by hospital network security settings.
No Emails
The No Emails
subscription option will not generate any email messages for the
user. He or she can still participate in the Discussion
directly on the website but won't receive email notifications when a
new post is added.
