Zetadocs delivery options for sending document batches

 

The Zetadocs Batch Delivery Settings page is displayed when you send a more than one items using Zetadocs Send button. This allows you to change some of the options when a batch of documents is going to be sent.

 

Options

 

Field

Description

Show Errors Only

Filters the list to allow you to see only those deliveries which have errors, this is particularly useful when sending very large batches.

Skip All Errors

Sends the batch by skipping records with errors.

Consolidate E-Mails

Business Central customers who transact large numbers of documents with relatively few companies can make the process more efficient by choosing to consolidate those documents into a single email.

 

You can set the Consolidate E-Mail setting on any batch job individually at runtime on the Zetadocs batch Delivery Settings page, or consolidate can be set as a default per document type by an administrator to always consolidate by default.

 

If the same recipient has more than one report within a batch, Zetadocs will send the recipient one email with multiple reports as individual PDF file attachments.

 

Zetadocs will use the Zetadocs Template email body for the consolidated email body if one is set, otherwise it will use a simplified default consolidated email body. This default message can be overridden by setting an email body within the Zetadocs Template as the Word Report Layout can’t be used when consolidated email is selected.

 

Emails are only consolidated when the following fields match:

 

  • Company No.
  • Zd Template  ID
  • Contact No.
  • E-Mail, E-MailCc
  • E-MailBcc
  • E-MailFrom
  • Delivery Method.

 

If the number of items consolidated exceeds the limit in the Zetadocs Report Settings, Zetadocs will create the minimum number of emails given that limit.

Combine Documents

When Combine Documents is used in conjunction with Consolidate E-Mails, Zetadocs will combine multiple documents for the same recipient, and their additional PDF attachments into a single PDF file.

 

Only PDF files are combined. Any additional attachments that are not PDF files will be sent as individual attachments.

 

Combine Documents can be set as a default per document type by an administrator to always consolidate and combine by default.

Edit

Opens a page to allow you to edit the delivery details for the item currently selected.

Edit All

Allows you to set the email From address, edit the template used and include additional attachments you want applied to all of the records in the batch.
