Go to Brackets If in another area such as Reports or Pool Manager selecting this menu item will take you to the Brackets area.

Go to Reports This is where you view all the Reports OfficePool has available. For more info on reports visit the Reports page.

Pool Manager/Email ... Allows you to manage who's paid, set an entry as "bogus" and send e-mails from within OfficePool.

Display popup menu: Choices are All, Paid or Unpaid. Simply updates the brackets listbox above based on this option.

Mark as Paid/Bogus: Clicking either of these buttons updates the brackets. A "Bogus" bracket is one which is for reference only. Suppose you want to include a "FAVORITES" entry or you want to include an entry from a so-called expert (i.e. Dick Vitale) but you don't want them ranked when shown in the standings. They will still show up but will have "--" as their rank.

Transfer Emails/Append: Will copy the e-mail addresses of selected entries over to the "To" field. If Append if checked, it will append the e-mails to this field, otherwise it will replace the contents. Invalid e-mails (i.e. they lack the '@' symbol) will not be accepted.

To Field/Bcc: The e-mail addresses you will be sending an e-mail to. If Bcc (Blind Carbon Copy) is checked the recipients will not be shown who else has been sent the e-mail.

Subject: The Title or subject of your e-mail.

Message: The contents of your e-mail message.

Attachment: Options are None, Standings and Brackets. If Standings is selected, your recipients will be sent the current standings.

If Brackets is selected, each recipient will be sent their matching picks. A good think to have if you are using our QuickPik feature or if someone requests what their bracket was. If an e-mail doesn't match an entry he will still be sent an e-mail (As long as it's a valid address) but the e-mail will only contain what's in the "Message' field.

Send As HTML checkbox: If selected, will send an HTML version of the e-mail. If not, a text version will be used (not as pretty:)

Use Default Email Application checkbox: Allows you to use your default external email application (i.e. outlook, Mail, etc). Selecting will launch this application as identified by your system. Since it uses the "Mailto" URL tag it is limited.

Send Email: Will send an e-mail.

Prefs: Will open the Email preferences window which allows you to change SMTP Server, From or Port.
