Hello! The response here is from the collaborative guidance of the DDAR Staff Support Committee.
Cheryl Vonada said that she uses forms and would be happy to discuss with you if you want to contact her direct at ccv3@psu.edu.
Another option is to use the poll option in Outlook to create a form and see responses. It puts the poll directly into the email where the recipient can enter their options. Jessie Sargent, jms6398@psu.edu, could help you if you have any questions with this route.
If using the poll for PSU staff only, a great option is to use polls within Outlook. Go to New Mail, Options, Use Voting Buttons, Poll. Judy Hall, jqh4@psu.edu, is familiar with this tool.
Tracking Funds:
Use the ABI Tool on AWA under PSU Links
Click on:
On-Demand Reports
Scroll to the bottom under “Other Reports”
The click “Gifting Totals by Allocation and/or Fund Code”Hi Andrea, thank you for your question. In consultation with the Staff Support Committee, the following information was gathered to help resolve this. If anyone else reading this has information to add, please log in using the button in the upper-left side of page and respond.
Send As a Delegate or a Distribution Group by default
When you have permissions to “Send As” or “On Behalf Of” another mailbox or Mail Enabled Distribution Group in an Exchange environment, you can use the From field in Outlook to specify this.However, in some situations, it is not uncommon that you need to send out as this mailbox or distribution group more often than from your own name. For instance, when you work in support and need the send out from the central support address rather than your own or when you represent a manager.
While you can manually specify the From field to send from each time you need to send out as that address, when needing to do that becomes the rule rather than the exception, it’s time to automate things.

Change default and delegate/shared mailbox
When you want to change the default to another mailbox to which you also have Full Access permissions, then you can configure your mail profile with that mailbox instead and add your own as a delegate mailbox.The result would be basically the reverse of what you have now; Your own mailbox configured as the Exchange account and the other mailbox added as an opened additional mailbox.
Set the delegate/shared mailbox as the main mailbox and add your own.
Configure an additional Exchange account
When you use Outlook 2010, Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016 and have Full Access permissions on the other mailbox, then you can also configure that mailbox as an additional Exchange account rather than adding it as a Delegate mailbox.By adding it as an additional account, Outlook will automatically set the From field based on the mailbox that you are in. So when you create a new email or reply to an email from the additional mailbox, the From field would be set to that mailbox. When you were to do this from your own mailbox, your own address is being used.
