Task properties

Recipients Tab

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 run-

time. You can use any combination of text, variables and data selections; see "Variable task prop-

erties" on page289.

Cc: Specify addresses to which a copy of the generated emails are to be sent.

Bcc: Specify discreet addresses (other recipients will not be able to see these addresses) to

which a copy of the generated emails are to be sent.

Subject: Enter the subject of the emails generated by PReS 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 run-time

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" on

page426) with a Strip() function to strip them out.

Message: Enter the content of the email message. This is a variable property box, so the text

may be personalized using variables and data selections. Note that since this is a variable prop-

erty box, its content is parsed at run-time. If HTML code is entered or pasted in this box, percent

(%) and backslash (/) HTML characters must be doubled otherwise they will be disregarded.

Note: Different email clients have different support for various features, especially with HTML

emails. In most cases, if you want to send your email as an HTML message, your very first line

should start with <html> or <!doctype html>. It should not be any other character). Also note that

it is not currently possible to send both an HTML and plain-text version of your message.

Attachments Tab

Use this tab to add the files received by this task (plus any other file that you may choose to attach) to

the emails sent by PReS.

Attach input job files: Select to attach the file received by this task to the emails it will generate.

If this option is not selected, the recipients will not receive any data file.

select the file. To add the file to the list displayed in the Attach box, you must the click the down-
