# Import emails from data sources

You can import emails from different data sources and manage them in the User Console to share reports with recipients via an email server.

You can initially import email addresses from different data sources through the `settings.xml` file used by the scheduling plugin, then manage the email addresses in the User Console to share reports with recipients via an email server. If you want your JDBC or LDAP data sources to manage and maintain updates to the email addresses used for scheduling, see the **Importing and updating email addresses used for scheduling from data sources** section in the **Administer Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics** document for instructions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pba/pentaho-user-console/classic-design/about-pentaho-user-console-perspectives/schedules/schedule-reports/import-emails-from-data-sources.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
