Use E-mail Message

Select this check box to use the default message defined for the report in Electronic Delivery Message Maintenance. Clear this check box to manually enter a subject line in the Subject Line field, and use the standard message body text. This field is available only if the E-mail check box is selected.

When this check box is selected, the message that is used depends on the specificity of messages defined in Electronic Delivery Message Maintenance. Multiple messages can be defined for a single document. For example, one message can be defined for all documents in all companies and all modules, and another message can be defined for a specific document in a specific company and module. When multiple messages exist for a document, the message used is based on a hierarchy. Messages defined for a specific company, module, document type, and/or document override messages defined for all companies, modules, document types, and documents. For more information about the specific message hierarchy, see Electronic Delivery Message Hierarchy.

If this check box is selected but no default message exists for the document, a blank subject line will be used along with the following standard message body text: "Please see the attached PDF document: [file name]" where [file name] is the PDF document file name.

Subject Line

It is important to only type merge fields that apply to the document you are sending. For example, the [DocumentNo] merge field applies only to certain documents. If this merge field is inserted for a document such as a statement that does not have a document number, the merge field is not converted to a value when the e-mail is sent. For more information, see Paperless Office Merge Fields.

This field is available only if the E-mail check box is selected and the Use E-mail Message check box is cleared. If the Use E-mail Message check box is selected, the subject line defined in Electronic Delivery Message Maintenance for the report is used.
