Login tab
If you chose Send Email in the General tab, use this tab to choose the appropriate email settings.
l Use Microsoft Outlook: Select to use Microsoft Outlook on the host computer running PlanetPress Image to send
emails (and attachments). The host computer must be running Outlook, and PlanetPress Image must have access to
Outlook. Emails generated by PlanetPress Image appear in the outbox before being sent by Outlook whenever it is set
to send emails.
l Use SMTP email: Select to use Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to send the emails (and attachments). To use
SMTP you must enter information in the Name, Email Address and Outgoing Mail (SMTP) boxes below.
l Name: Enter the sender’s name that will be used in emails sent by PlanetPress Image for this task.
l Organization: Enter the organization name that will be used in emails sent by PlanetPress Image for this task (this is
optional).
l Email address: Enter the sender’s email address that will be used in emails sent by PlanetPress Image for this task.
l Reply address: Enter the reply address that will be used in emails sent by PlanetPress Image for this task (this is
optional).
l Outgoing mail (SMTP): Enter the IP address of the mail server PlanetPress Image is to use to send emails via
SMTP.
l Server requires authentication: Select if the outgoing server mentioned above requires authentication. To use
authentication you must enter information in the Account name and Password boxes below.
l Account name: Enter the name of the account that PlanetPress Image is to use to send emails via the mail server.
l Password: Enter the password associated with the account name entered above.
Recipients tab
Once more, if you chose Send Email in the General tab, use this tab to choose the appropriate email settings.
l To: Enter the email address(es) of the recipient(s). Remember this is a variable property box and you can therefore
use various schemes to use email addresses that change with each job at runtime.
l Use document’s Email address: Select to send emails generated by PlanetPress Image to email addresses iden-
tified by the PlanetPress Design document selected in the General tab. In PlanetPress Design, you can tag a data selec-
tion as being an email address. When data is merged to the PlanetPress Design document, this information becomes
available to PlanetPress Image which can use it directly to send emails. If this option is selected and if addresses were
entered in the To box, emails will be sent both to the document’s email address and to the other addresses as well
(which may turn out to be the same, if data selections were used).
l Cc: Specify addresses to which copies of the generated emails are to be sent.
l Bcc: Specify discreet addresses (other recipients will not be able to see these addresses) to which copies of the gen-
erated emails are to be sent.
l Subject: Enter the subject of the emails generated by PlanetPress Image for this task. Note that if you use a data
selection in this box, you must be sure that the data that will be selected at runtime will not contain any parentheses, as
this would cause the task to fail. If you suspect that the data may contain parentheses, you should use a Run script
action task (see Run Script Action Task Property) with a Strip() function to strip them out.
l Use document’s Email subject: Select to use the email subject identified by the PlanetPress Design document
selected in the General tab. This option works the same way as the Use document’s email address(es) option above. If
this option is selected and a subject was entered in the Subject box, both subjects will appear as the email’s subject.
l Message: Enter the content of the email message. Since this is a variable property box, the text may be personalized
using variables and data selections.
