Overview

Sending communication emails to a specific group of individuals, e.g. students can be very time consuming if categorising the recipients is done manually. To speed up the process of selecting a group of recipients in Paradigm whom to send the communication emails to, Report Builder is addressing this gap by letting you select a predefined group of recipients or creating a new one as you go along. This knowledge article will guide you on how to go about using the Report Builder as a tool to send bulk communications in Paradigm.
