Upload Messages

You may upload messages to a mailbox when you have the Upload Messages right in the current mailbox location.

• To upload a message:

1. From the top of the page, click Upload Message.

   

   The Upload page appears.

   

   Note: If you want the Recipient: field of the Upload Message screen to be automatically filled in, then the Default Recipient: field on the Locations tab on the User Properties of the Web Client user in MessageWay must be filled in as shown below.

   

2. In the Recipient box, type a MessageWay mailbox location to which you have access, unless it has been automatically filled in as explained above.

   Note: You can specify multiple recipients separated by commas, but you must have upload rights to all of these recipients (including the {Dist} location) or the transfer will fail.

3. Optionally, type a Class ID. A class ID is free-form text that you can assign to a message or group of messages for categorizing and routing purposes.

   Note: You might see the term Appl ID instead of Class ID. Appl ID is a required field. It is not free-form text; it is restricted to 2-8 upper case letters (A-Z) and digits (0-9).

4. Select the Transfer Mode:
   • Binary (default): Use binary for images and other media files such as videos.
   • Text: Use text for files that contain all text (such as HTML or text files)
5. Click Browse to select one or more files from your computer to upload. Press the Control key while selecting multiple files. You can also type the full file path of each file you want to upload, separated by commas.

   

   Note: The Web Client does not support file names that contain commas.

   Note: Your administrator may place restrictions on maximum number of messages that may be uploaded and downloaded simultaneously.

   Click Open once you've selected all files.

6. Click Upload.

   The messages begin to upload. Transfer details display at the bottom of the screen.

   

   You can view the status of each upload and percent complete, as well as the file name, file path origin, recipient, and class ID. While the upload is in progress, you can Pause, Resume or Cancel it.

   When the upload is done, its Status changes to Completed. You can then click Close to remove it from the list if necessary..

   Tip: Hover your mouse over a field to display the entire name if part of it is not visible.

   See View Transfer Details for a description of items in this screen.

   To hide the entire transfer details window, click Hide Detail.

   IMPORTANT: If you close your web browser during an upload, the transfer will be canceled.

   Note: If you refresh your browser during an upload, you must manually restart the transfer (text files will restart from the beginning; binary files will restart from the point of last data transferred).

   Tip: To view all messages that you have uploaded (to any mailbox), click the Uploaded button.

   Tip: To view messages that have been uploaded by any user to your default mailbox, click Available, Downloaded or Canceled.

   Note: Shared users cannot upload messages. A shared user name is one that begins with SHR- such as SHR-Kristina. This prefix is not case-sensitive. Many users may log on to MessageWay with the same shared user name and download messages from the default mailbox location. The messages are not marked complete and not moved to the Downloaded folder.
