# Create an email group

In the Administration perspective within the Pentaho User Console, you can create email groups and add emails to these groups as needed. You can use these groups when sending scheduled reports.

Perform the following steps to create an email group:

1. From the User Console **Home** menu, click **Administration**.

   The Users / Roles page appears.
2. Click **Email Groups**.

   The Email Groups page for managing emails and email groups appears.

   ![Email Groups page](https://591371677-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFgwF7oC7Y6b7XWdahykf%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d5101e81145ba570701e9030727e7561a2c3ca14%2FPUC_Admin_Email_Groups.png?alt=media)

   **Note:** You may experience a delay in loading information for e-mail groups containing a large number of emails.
3. On the **Manage Groups** tab, click the plus sign to add an email group.
4. In the New Group window, specify a name for the new email group in the **Name** field, then click **OK**.

   The new email group is added to the list of available groups. The email group name only accepts alphanumeric characters.

   **Note:** Available emails are only displayed when you select a group.
5. To add an email address to the group, select the group and then use the Right Arrow (>) to add a single email or the Double-Right Arrow (>>) to add all available emails to the **Selected** list.

   To add individual email addresses, use the **Manage Emails** tab.
6. (Optional) Use the **Search** box to find email addresses by either the first or last name of the recipient or the address itself.
