Sending Packages

Sending a new package is like sending an email with attachments. As such, it is a familiar process, and uses a form similar to a compose email form. The "Package Actions" section may appear on the home page and/or the main packages page.

1. To get started, click Send a new package. The New Package page opens.

   

2. Enter the intended recipients, the Subject, and a Note (the note may be optional depending on the Organization settings, which are set by your Administrator).

   Add recipients in the To field by entering a valid email address. Separate multiple entries with a comma. If your Administrator has configured it, you may also see the Address Book options for adding recipients. You can enter yourself as a recipient.

   In the Subject field, enter a description of the package (the subject will usually be included in the 'new package notification' email).

   Use the Note field to enter a note for recipients. (The note may be optional depending on the organizational settings.)

   The Note field is blank. Enter a note for the recipients. (The note may be optional depending on the organizational settings.)

   Whether the note is required or optional might be labeled to the left.

   In addition, the padlock icon to the left of the Note box is shown either open or locked depending upon the Secure the Note default set by the administrator. (You might have a per package override checkbox in Options below.)

   • If the padlock is locked, this note will appear in the package, but it will not appear as part of a new package notification email.
   • If the padlock is unlocked, the note will be included in the new package notification email.

   Depending on the Organization settings, you may see a rich text editor where you can type your note. In this editor, buttons above the editing box let you change the font, size, style, alignment, indentation, and even color of the text you enter. You can also enter links and lists.

   You may also have a Check Spelling button available, which will check the spelling of both the package subject and the note. Misspelled words will be highlighted and you may use your left mouse button to select appropriate replacements.

3. Click the Preview button to see what your note will look like to your recipient(s). Clicking the Edit button from the Preview page will let you continue working on your note.
4. Add files. To add file attachments to your package, click the Browse button. If the Upload/Download Wizard is installed and enabled, you can use it to upload your files, while making sure they are integrity checked. Otherwise, you can select your files by using the browser's file selection interface, then click Upload.
5. Select any options for this package. To make sure you get notified when your recipient(s) read the package, check the Delivery Receipt(s) checkbox. (If you are a registered user, this MOVEit help contains another topic with more detail about the packages options. See Web Interface - Packages - Sending.)
6. When you are done composing your package and uploading any attachments, click Send to send the package. Once sent, a copy is saved to your Sent mailbox for future reference.

   A 'new package notification' email will be sent to your recipients, to inform them that a package is waiting for them. Recipients can click on the web link in this notification to connect to the site and view the package.

Note: Depending on the Organization settings, you may need to set a password that unregistered recipients (recipients that are not MOVEit users) will use to access the package. You may also need to send the password manually to these recipients. (If you are a registered user, this MOVEit help contains another topic with more detail about the password options. See Web Interface - Packages - Sending.)
