## Creating dynamic distribution lists

If the available distribution lists do not meet your needs, you can create a new distribution list. A dynamic distribution list differs from a normal list in the way devices are included on the list. For dynamic distribution lists, TI DeviceExplorer searches for devices that satisfy specific criteria instead of requiring you to manually locate each device you want included on the list.

### To create dynamic distribution lists

| 1. | If the distribution list drawer is not open, click View > Toggle Distribution List Drawer or click Distribution Lists.

| 2. | Click New dynamic distribution list.

| 3. | Type a Device list name.

| 4. | Click either Match any of those criteria or Match all of those criteria.

| 5. | Click the first criteria box and select a field from the drop-down list.

| 6. | Click the second criteria box and select a field from the drop-down list.

| 7. | Double-click the third criteria box and type the search data.

Note: If you selected Model or Family in step 5, you can click the arrow by the third criteria box and select a field from the drop-down list.

| 8. | If you want to add more criteria, click Add Criteria and repeat steps 5 - 7 for the new line of criteria boxes.

| 9. | Click Done.

TI Device Explorer creates a dynamic distribution list and adds it to the distribution list drawer.
