are these settings not playing well together?

Ideally I would get a daily summary of ?emails in the threads I follow. ?Second best would be a daily summary of all. ?

Thanks.

Go back and make sure the settings changes were actually updated. There is a Save button down at the very bottom of the page that must be clicked to make the change. Sometimes this is overlooked.

councilconsulting,

in this group in my email settings I have selected "daily summary"
and in advanced settings I selected "what I follow" ...
but I am getting Individual emails and not a daily summary, and I am
getting All emails on all threads, not just those I have followed

I don't know if the Daily Summary provides a summary of all Topics, or if it obeys the Following rules.

But I don't know why you would be getting individual emails instead.

n.b. Your GMF subscription is currently set to Individual Messages. Perhaps you changed it back?

We are a charity knitting/crochet/sew group and databases are the most important part of our group. ?Each month we support different charities. ?I set up a database for each on so members can add their details if they will be supporting that charity. ?At the end of the month donations have to be posted so as each member sends off their contribution they record the date and tracking number and when it reaches the group member who is collecting parcels she marks them off as received. ?Without databases we would be lost!!

Victoria,

I think the answer is that it was unexpected that one would want duplicate copies of a file.

Perhaps the right answer would be to ask for an enhancement to add support for links to files instead of copies.

We use Databases for listing a specific sub specialty listing of ophthalmologists.
We use it in our premium group to provide a visual mapping worldwide which also allows patient members to elicit Google directions.
We use it in our Management group w/out the map for referrals when needed.

The content is the same, but the hashtags are different - so that make these messages 'not really the same'?

That said, there could be a bug. When I look at the event (as a GMF Moderator via the edit screen) no reminders are set up. So I'm not sure why we're getting the first one.

Is this a bug or a mistake in settings?

A bit of an aside here.? You can actually create reserved tags before they are ever used, in case you want to adjust the settings.? In my case, I created all the "cal-" tags so I could make them all moderated.

Bruce, Chris,

You've already mentioned that someone has manually added #monthly to
the subject line of the existing member notice of type guidelines in
ShalsTest.

That someone would be me.

I was curious if a manually added hashtag would be processed by the system as a hashtag. And it is. The other possibility I had in mind was that the automatic hashtag might preclude having others. Or vice-versa.

Ah; enlightenment. :)

I had read the wiki page before "setting pen to paper" earlier on but with #guidelines being one of the "system" hashtags not specifically listed the full implication of what I was reading didn't sink in. The general Groups.io help page, er, doesn't...

Thanks for taking the time to send your message above; it is helpful as it has cleared up something that has been bugging me since it was raised with me by our group owner; he isn't in GMF or beta and relies on me as a conduit.

Chris

Michael,

It is a bug.

Same thing happened last month, evidently it hasn't been fixed yet.

Chris -- Most are associated with notifications of some kind, but not always.

Here are a few of the system hashtags that I'm aware of.?

#guidelines -- added to the corresponding Member Notice
#poll -- automatically added to any poll notifications
#chat -- automatically added to any chat notifications
#email -- automatically added to emails that come into your group via the email integration
#cal-event, #cal-notice, #cal-reminder -- added to notifications that go out when you set up, when it happens, and to remind of upcoming calendar events (respectively)

There could be others associated with integrations/features that I don't use (hint hint).?

If these hashtags don't exist, they are created with default settings the first time a notification is generated that requires that hashtag. They can subsequently be edited and customized (with various delivery options and such), just like a hashtag you created manually, via the Hashtags menu item on the left-side menu bar.?

The existing wiki page at?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Creating-Hashtags?says that these system hashtags are "reserved"...which is not at all true. Once created, there is nothing to keep someone for using them for other purposes. This is the source of a frequent complaint I've seen in beta, where a subscriber could choose to append #chat or #poll to the subject of a message that has nothing to do with an actual, ongoing chat or poll.?

If for some reason you want a second hashtag to appear alongside the automatic one, you have to put that in the subject line yourself. You've already mentioned that someone has manually added #monthly to the subject line of the existing member notice of type guidelines in ShalsTest. Similarly, if you were to click on New Poll, you can freely insert a second hashtag in the Title field to go along with the #poll one that will subsequently be appended, or add one to the Event Name in a calendar entry, etc.

As you may know, there is a limit of five total hashtags in a subject line. If you were to put five manual hashtags in the subject line of a guidelines Member Notice, I don't know which -- if any -- would be bumped off in favor of #guidelines. It could be that the message would be held up in Draft form until you log into the site and fix it.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

We are an animal health group and use databases, for example to collect veterinarian addresses recommended by our members. Also we collect addresses of various specialists and clinics.
We also use databases as a link collection concerning animal health issues.

Bruce; thanks for that... but it raises the question what is a system hashtag as opposed to an "ordinary" hashtag?

Something similar occurs on Shal's test group; the Monthly Notice goes out with #monthly and #guidelines in the subject line. The settings for the monthly notice include #monthly in its Subject Line, but not #guidelines, so what is the determining factor in whether a particular hashtag is added automatically?

Chris

Bruce, this trick worked:-) Thanks. Space is not the problem. Most of my files are word documents.

It would be helpful though if sometimes one could just copy a file or a pdf because it?s needed somewhere else. And not quite understandable why its possible to remove a file but not be able to copy it.

The Monthly Notice is sent out with the hashtag #Guidelines, which is perfectly reasonable. As might be expected there is a Guidelines hashtag in the Hashtag Library. What there isn't (at least as far as I can see) is any Setting that allies this hashtag to the Monthly Notice.

As a system hashtag, #guidelines is?automatically allied with your monthly guideline notice, similar to #poll or #cal-invite.

Hope this helps,
Bruce?

Ways I have used a database. My group is a graphics sharing type group. Here are some of the examples I have used a database for. ? 1) To ask?my members what they would like to have shared in the group as far as theme shares go.? ? 2) Extras they would like to have shared or made ? 3) To fill out as to why they are going on Special Notice and expected return so their settings aren't changed to individual mail ? 4) Names they want me to look for to send them Snagged Personalized Tags ? 5) to list artists that have given my group permission to use their work along with the copyright information that is needed. ? 6) List of General Permission artists who allow all to use their work along with their copyright information that is needed ? 7) My Ads letter group I use Databases for 7a New Ads to be added to the letter 7b Changes made to ads 7c Groups to be removed 7d A list of all groups and whether they sent out the ads letter to their group 7e Waiting List of groups 7f Spotlighted groups - so everyone gets a chance ?
