Email?
This box must be checked for e-mail distribution. See Registry Entry System Email for a discussion on setting your firm’s e-mail configuration.

Email Address
You may enter the actual addresses to distribute the report to, an email group or groups, or specify the users or user groups below. When referencing an Email Group, you must surround the Email Group Id with brackets. For example, if you have created an Email Group with the Id sales, you would enter it in a SAM Pro email field as [sales] to indicate that it is a token replacement and not, itself, an email address.
