  2. Enter their email address in the Email column if they are to receive email notifications, and tick the Active checkbox for email.
  3. Enter their mobile number in the Mobile column if they are to receive SMS notifications, and tick the Active checkbox mobile.



Info
A new blank line will automatically appear after each entry, allowing you to add as many staff members as needed.
