Send to [Client name] - all email addresses are displayed (and sent to). This allows a document to be sent to multiple people related to a client for example, if the report is about a child and both parents need to be sent a copy, then they can both be emailed at the same time.
Third Parties – displays any Third Party with an email address
Referrers - displays all Referrers with an email address. If there is a Referrer related to the appointment selected, then this is displayed in bold at the top of the list.
