Notification : How to restrict address?
Hi, I want to use Notification Function in UX.
I want a function that Member can mail to Manager.
There are a function can select recipients by module.
So, I tried to use it and make this List and module.
List: Manager List & Member List
| List | Manager | Member |
| X | A | |
| B | ||
| Y | C |
Mail Module (from Member to Manager)
| Appliers To | LineItem | |
| Member | Manager | Uses-Manager |
| A | X | X.～.com |
| B | X | X.～.com |
But in this case, I have to chose Member List in Recipient context.(picture)
I think I have to make a module has Users in Applies to.
But Users has no properties and I can not use finditem function,
so I can not find the manager address.
| Mail Module | |
| Users | Manager |
| A.～.com | ✖ |
| B.～.com | ✖ |
| X.～.com | ✖ |
How can I solve this problem? (Input Manager List to Mail Module by hand is not answer)
Please tell me idea!

Hi @hyudolee
Currently this is difficult as the UX doesn't support a filtered list of Users.
We can do this though by exporting the Users list (or exporting from a filtered saved view) and importing to another list. That list is either a pre-filtered list of managers or you can put a subset on it.
Create a module dimensioned by that new list or subset to use with the notification action.
I've created some screenshots to help here:
Imported Users to a list called 'Fake Users' and set a subset for 'managers'
A module is created dimensioned by that subset with a FINDITEM on Users list in a Users formatted line item.
This gives us our filtered list of Users for use in the notification action.

You could have a managers boolean in a module dimensioned by Users, filter on that and export those users if you wanted to manage the managers that way rather than through a subset.

Also look at this on Idea Exchange, I think it covers your needs. If not you could create a new idea there.

We’re actually looking into this at the moment as part of some extensions to support notifying multiple recipients driven by a module. One of the module examples we’d like to support matches this idea quite closely with scenarios like “send a notification to all users in my selected region where the ‘forecast completed’ boolean is false”.
