# Can I create a distribution list? How do I create a distribution list?

August 31, 2023

Yes, you can create a Distribution list (also known as a **User List**) in CORE.

- A distribution list allows you to quickly share files or comments with multiple people at once.
- Both **Admin** and **Standard** users in CORE can create a User List for distribution. Standard users can only create **private** User Lists, which means only you and people you share your User list with will have the ability to use this distribution list when sharing packages. It will not be visible to anyone else. **Public** User Lists created only by Admins are available to all CORE users.

Here are the steps on how to create a Distribution list:

1. Click on the **Users** icon (located on the left navigation panel) to open Users module

2. To navigate to **User Lists** menu, click on the **User Lists** icon located at the top of the page

3. To create a new User List, click on the green **+New User List** button located at top right corner of the page, and a new **User List** menu will appear on the page

4. In the blank list form:
   1. Give a name to your new User List by typing the name into the **List Name** field. It's recommended to name it something descriptive, so that it's easy to identify later.
   2. Under **Usage** section, make sure the **Distribution** box is checked. This step lets the system know that this list will be used for distribution, and this list will be available as an option in **Recipients** field when sharing a package or a comment. The **Watermark** option will create a user list that you can use when you create a download job with everyone on the list's individual watermark shown on the content for the download. You can check either or both boxes in this step.
   3. **Access** section will show that this list is **Private** as a default option. Only Admin users have the ability to update this option.

5. Click on **Save List** button located at the bottom of the page to save your options

6. Now you can add members to your new distribution list. Click on **+Add Users** button at the bottom of the page.

7. You can search for names by typing in either first or last name of the User in **Search Users** field.
   1. Add individual Users to your User List by clicking the **+** button until you have everyone on the list you need. Remove someone from the list by clicking the **-** button.

8. Click on **Save List** to save your selections

That's it! Your new list is ready to be used in package shares and comments!
