subfolder names in the job's nested subfolder path is used as a key in the mapping table. The

email information for all matches is combined and associated with the job.

Folder

A folder provides just a single set of email information. If it is non-empty, the email info is

attached to each job passing through the folder.

Here are a few examples of how this can be used:

• Accumulate an audit trail of status messages in the email body text as a job moves along a

flow, and email the audit trail to a supervisor at the end of the flow.

• Associate a different email address with a job depending on its status in the flow (e.g. passed

preflight test or not).

• Sort jobs based on filename (or any other criteria) and then associate a different email address

with a job depending in how it was sorted.

Using Email info in Mail send

The mail send tool can use the email information associated with the job, in addition to email

information specified directly in the mail send tool itself.

Specifically:

• Use the "Email info" property to explicitly specify email addresses and body text for each and

every email being sent by this instance of the mail send tool. You may leave this empty if

you only wish to use email info associated with the job (see next bullet item).

• Set the "Include attached email info" property to "yes" to also include the email info associated

with the job (i.e. the email information that has been accumulated as described in the

previous section).

The email addresses specified in the email information are always used in the "To" field of the

outgoing email messages. The mail send tool offers a separate "CC addresses" property which

allows specifying email addresses to be used in the "CC" field of the outgoing email messages.

It is not possible to associate "CC" addresses with a job (other than in the mail send tool) since

email information contains only "To" addresses.

Acknowledged job hand-off

The Pack job, Unpack job, and Monitor confirmation tools can be used to implement acknowledged

hand-off of jobs between instances of Switch running on separate computers, regardless of the

communication channel used to transfer the data. The involved instances of Switch may reside

on the same local network, or they may be in remote locations connected through the Internet

(or any other communications channel).

Furthermore, Pack job and Unpack job can carry over any Switch metadata associated with the

job, including internal job ticket information (such as email and hierarchy information), external

metadata and (of course) embedded metadata. This feature can be used with or without

acknowledged hand-off.
