"Exclude" checkbox applies to both Document creation and Document replies. This means when someone replies to the document, they will still not see excluded names in the Address Book.


ActionEnter names of people (see below).
InfoEnter names of people (see below).
ExcludeTick the checkbox "Exclude" to ensure that on Creation and Replies the user is not available in the address book. 

When you select a user to either Action or Info on your document, you must tick a checkbox. Options are:

  •  Enumerate - the item is expanded from a single "Group" entry into a list of the individual users in that group. This parameter is ignored if the code is 'PRIVATE' or an individual user. 
  •  Preferred - the item is listed in a "preferred" section at the top of the address-book.
  •  Selected - addressees are pre-selected.
  •  Forced - addressees are pre-selected and may not be removed.
  •  Silent - addressees will not get an item on their ToDo notifications list. This might be used in CCs to ensure someone has access to documents, but they do not want a ToDo Notification every time those documents are created or edited.
