Technical
In some combinations of Microsoft Outlook and Windows versions, it is not possible for Outlook to be
opened while PReS Workflow is running, so emails are not sent out automatically. To correct this,
make sure to logon to Windows on the PReS Workflow server using the same login that PReS
Workflow is using, and open Outlook before starting the PReS Workflow services. You could also use
a startup process to start Outlook before the rest of the services.
Input
Any data file.
Processing
While an email is always sent by this task (or at least attempted to be sent), the contents of the file and
presence of attachments depends on the selected option. Refer to the properties' descriptions below to
know what each option does.
Once the contents of the file and attachments is determined, the email (and attachments)is either sent
directly to the selected SMTPserver, or is deposited in the "Outbox"folder of the local Microsoft Outlook
account.
Properties
Recipients tab
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 run-time.
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 generated emails are to be sent.
l
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363) with a Strip()
function to strip them out.
