  2. In the To field, type the email address for the recipient.

    If you are sending the snapshot to multiple recipients, then for each additional recipient, click the + icon to add a field for the email address.

  3. The From field contains your email address, which is used as the reply-to address on the email message.

    Note that this is not the From address. The From address on the email is the address associated with the outbound email server.

    For information on configuring the outbound email server, see the Administrator's Guide.

  4. In the Subject field, you can customize the subject line for the email.
  5. In the Message field, you can add any additional text to the email message.

    Make sure you do not change the bookmark link.

  6. To send the email, click Send.
