Email Documents as a Zip File - External Mail Services - English - Foundation 22.1 - OnBase - Essential - Premier - Standard - external - Essential - Standard

You can send multiple documents as a Zip file in an email message using your configured third-party email program.

Note:

When attaching a Document Type with XML as the Default File Format, the system converts the XML file and the XSL style sheet into one HTML file. The system also converts Lotus Notes (.dxl) documents and their associated style sheets to one HTML file in much the same way when attached to an email.

Note:

XML Documents emailed as a zip file are converted to TIFF files.

Certain characters are not allowed in attachment file names. If these characters appear in the document's Auto-Name, they are substituted with other characters that are allowed. Substitutions are as follows:

Auto-Name Character	Replaced With
\ and /	-
:	;
*	+
?	!
<	[
>	]
"	'
\|	!

OnBase External Mail Services respects restrictions set by third-party email systems (such as file attachment size limits). This may result in a situation where the user is presented with the OnBase Mail Message dialog box instead of the email program's native dialog box. For more information on how to use the OnBase Mail Message dialog box, see Using the OnBase Mail Message Dialog Box.

Note:

If you are using Novell GroupWise, the OnBase Mail Message dialog box is always displayed. The GroupWise native email dialog box is not available when using External Mail Services to send email.

To email a group of documents from the OnBase Client as a Zip file:

From selected documents in a document results list or envelope,do one of the following:
- Right-click and select Send To | Mail | Mail Recipient (as Zip File).
- Select File | Send To | Mail | Mail Recipient (as Zip File).
If any of the selected documents are images, the Document Options dialog box is displayed for each image.

Select the appropriate options to configure how you would like each particular image sent within the Zip file.

Note:

Notes and overlays cannot be sent when sending documents in a Zip file. They can only be sent from an open document using Advanced Options.

Page Range	Description
All	All pages in the selected document will be sent.
Pages	The page(s) specified in the text field will be sent. Enter page numbers and/or page ranges, separated by commas. For example: 1,3,5-12. Note: This option is only available when sending documents in the Default Format or Native Format.

File Format of Attachment	Description
Default Format	Sends the document as a TIFF file.
Native Format	Sends the document in the format in which it is stored in OnBase(e.g., JPEG, GIF, PNG, etc.).
Unencrypted PDF	Sends the document as a PDF file.
40 bit RC4 Encrypted PDF	Sends the document as a 40-bit Rivest Cipher 4 (RC4) encrypted PDF file. Upon choosing this Content Type, you will be prompted to enter a password, which the recipient will need to enter upon opening the attachment.
Apply Settings to All Selected Documents	Select this check box when sending multiple image documents to apply the selected file format to all documents. Note: This option only applies to the remaining documents in the list that have not yet been configured. For example, if you choose this option the third time you are presented with the Document Options dialog box, the settings are not applied to the first two documents that prompted the Document Options dialog box. Note: If the Apply Settings to All Selected Documents check box is selected, the All radio button is automatically selected and the Pages radio button becomes unavailable. Tip: To send only a range of pages from a number of selected documents in their native formats, do not select the Apply Settings to All Selected Documents. The Advanced Mail dialog box will be displayed for each of the selected documents, and you can specify the page range to be included for each document.

Upon choosing this Content Type, you will be prompted to enter a password, which the recipient will need to enter upon opening the attachment. Tip: This option provides greater security than either of the RC4 encryption options. Note: Adobe Acrobat version 7.0 or greater is required to convert and send documents with 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption.
