Letter Service In Scheduler

Collect!'s Scheduler can be used to print your Letter Service batch file during off hours. When you configure a Letter Service task, the Scheduler takes you through several setup steps,similar to setting the options manually for your Scheduler Batch Letters to Letter Service. There are few restrictions when setting these options for the Scheduler. We will cover the details in this topic.

If you are also scheduling your Daily Letter Batch in the Scheduler, you should make sure the "Letter service" task is scheduled to be completed before the "Print batch letters" task starts.

When you select the CONFIGURE button for a Letter Service task, you will be prompted to answer a few questions and select options.

1. First, the Batch Letter Options form is displayed, with slight variations. When setting the options in this form as part of a Scheduler Task, you must set your options in advance. This is because the Scheduler does not send prompts to the screen while it is running a given task.
