encoded: In Google Groups, a prefix is a short bit of text that is added to the front of the subject line when emails are distributed. A prefix makes it easier for people to identify messages coming from the group. If the prefix is reasonably unique, you also make it possible for recipients to create rules for processing the emails, e.g., move all messages from the group into a folder. How to add a prefix to group messages 1. Sign into Google Workspace with your admin account. The direct link is https://workspace.google.com/ 2. Navigate to Groups from the dropdown menu next to your profile icon. 3. Click the gear icon for the group you want to change: 4. Scroll down to Email options and specify the Subject prefix. Recipients can use the prefix to target or filter emails from the group, so use a prefix that uniquely identifies the group and will not likely occur in unrelated emails. Google recommends enclosing the prefix with square brackets, e.g., [Prefix]. This is not required; you can follow other patterns such as PREFIX: (all caps + colon). 5. Click Save changes. 6. Be patient – it can take a while for the change to appear on new messages. References Add a prefix to subject lines of group messages (support.google.com) – Group owners and managers can add a prefix that appears in the subject line of all group messages. This helps recipients quickly identify that the message is from the group. The post Add a prefix to messages from Google Groups so they are easier to identify appeared first on Human Extended.

encoded: In Google Sheets, a dropdown allows you to select a value from a predefined list, streamlining data entry and reducing errors. Sometimes you need to remove a dropdown – and the process of removing it depends on whether the dropdown is used in the column of a table. Skip to the applicable steps: Remove a dropdown located outside of a table Remove a dropdown located inside of a table If Remove rule is disabled when opening the dropdown settings, then likely the dropdown is part of the column definition inside a table. Go to Remove a dropdown located inside of a table. Remove a dropdown located outside of a table Use these instructions if your dropdown is located outside of a table. If your dropdown is defined as part of a column in a table, jump to the next section because the steps are different. Remove a dropdown outside of a table using your mouse Right-click the cell containing the dropdown, and then Select Dropdown from the popup menu. The data validation panel will open. Click Remove rule on the bottom of the panel Remove a dropdown outside of a table using your keyboard Move keyboard focus to the cell containing the dropdown, and then Press Shift-Enter to open the dropdown, and then Press the Up or Down arrow keys to navigate to the pencil (edit) icon, and then Press the Enter key. The data validation panel will open. Press the Tab key until Remove rule has focus and then press Enter. Tip: the Remove rule button is one tab position after the Done button. Keep pressing Tab until Done has focus, then press Tab one last time. Remove a dropdown located inside of a table If your table contains a column with a dropdown, then you cannot directly remove the dropdown (as of Mary 2026). It is unclear whether this is a bug or by design. To fix, you must make a copy of the column and paste back with values only.

encoded: Square does not directly support Zelle, but you can configure a custom payment method to track Zelle payments. To do this, you must have a bank account that supports Zelle and you must enroll with your email address or phone number. Once your bank account is enrolled, you can define a custom payment method in Square. This will let you select Zelle as a payment method, but you’ll need to manually verify the payment yourself. Later, you can use reporting to track and reconcile the transactions. Confirm your bank supports Zelle for business accounts As noted by Zelle on their website, your business bank account must support Zelle. Zelle is typically associated with consumer-to-consumer payments, but banks can offer Zelle for small business accounts. However, it is up to the bank to implement the service. To check, open your banking app or website and look at the transfer or payment screens. If you don’t see an option to use Zelle, call your bank. Your bank may have eligibility requirements before you can enroll. Here are a few major banks that are known to support Zelle with business accounts: Chase You can use Zelle in the Chase Mobile® app to send and receive payments from your business checking account. PNC A Fast and Easy Way to Receive Payments from Customers, Directly to Your Eligible PNC Business Checking Account—Free in the PNC Mobile App. TD Eligible personal and small business customers can also send and receive payments with Zelle®. Wells Fargo Enrolling with Zelle® is fast, simple, and easy using Wells Fargo Business Online® or the Wells Fargo Mobile® app Enroll with Zelle from your banking app If you haven’t done so already, you need to enroll with Zelle. This is always done through your banking app or website, not Zelle itself. During enrollment, you will associate an email address or phone number with your business account. You cannot use the same email address or phone number that was enrolled with a personal account. If your email address or phone numb…

This makes it easier to report and reconcile transactions later. Understanding custom payment methods A custom payment method is selected by your staff when a customer is prompted to pay for their purchase. Square will note the customer paid with the custom payment method, which will show up in reporting. Advantages of custom payment methods The key advantage is accurate data resulting in easier reconciliation. Instead of all external payments closing to “other” or cash, you know exactly how each customer paid. And if your customers tip, you’ll have an easier time in payroll because Square can track the tip information. More granular reporting of how customers are paying Full visibility of payments outside of Square Simpler bookkeeping, reconciliation, and tip payouts Visibility into consumer payment preferences That said, there are some limitations to understand.

encoded: A distribution list is a simple way to send one email to multiple people at once. The list contains members and has its own email address. When you email the list, the system automatically sends the email to all members. This mechanism is useful for company-wide announcements, or discussion groups, etc. This guide explains how to create distribution lists in Google Workspace. Types of distribution lists In Google terminology, a distribution list is a group. A group is a set of users. Google provides a lot of options, enabling you configure the exact behavior desired for your group. Here are a few common scenarios: A public distribution list to post announcements. In this type of distribution list, members join because they want to receive announcements, e.g., new versions of an application. Typically, members cannot post into the group and cannot see other members. Only the group owners can post. A private distribution list to publish reports. For example, you can instruct your finance team to send a daily report with KPIs (key performance indicators). Since this group contains sensitive information, membership is typically controlled (approval required) but often members are permitted to reply and ask questions. A list of people with access to a resource such as a shared drive. This is a security group. Members need approval to join (otherwise it is useless as a security group), and for extra security, members may be restricted from seeing other members. These are just examples of the kinds of groups you can create using various combinations of the options. We will walk through the major options you need to set during creation of the group. Where to manage groups in Google Workspace To manage groups, you go to the Groups section of the Admin page. Sign into your Google Workspace account. Select Admin from the menu next to your profile in the upper-right corner. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1196" height="588" class="wp-image-8336" style="max-width:100…
