Emailing Item Properties

You can send a text representation of selected items (except files) as an email message, along with additional text. The information sent for each item includes the fields displayed in the upper pane. For items such as change requests, the item's properties, which are the same as its contents, are sent in the email. For files, only the properties can be sent. However, a shortcut to the item can be included.

Items are considered to have been sent by the application, not by you. Therefore, you may want to copy yourself on the email. Otherwise, you will not receive the message.

To email item properties to another team member, do the following:

1. Select a folder from the folder tree or in the upper pane on the Folder tab.
2. Click a component tab.
3. Select an item in the upper pane.

4. Do one of the following:

   • Click the Send button on the toolbar. (If you have selected a file component, this button does not appear.)
   • Right-click the selected item and choose Send To.

   The Send To dialog box opens.

5. Do one of the following:

   • Select a file or folder from one of the Eclipse Explorers, and choose Team > Send To from the context menu.
   • Open one of the StarTeam views, and choose Send To from the context menu.
6. Click To or CC to open a dialog box for selecting the primary or secondary email recipients.

   Select the email recipients by moving the team member names from the Available Users to Selected Users list and click OK.

7. Type a Subject.
8. Optionally, check Send A Copy To Myself if you want to receive a copy of the email.
9. Optionally, check Attach Item Shortcut to include a shortcut to this specific item in the email.
10. Type any additional information in the Add Text To The Mail Message text box.
