Fax Cover Sheet Settings
We will be releasing an upgrade around June 1st that will allow the fax cover page to be suppressed, which will allow clients to prevent the cover page from faxing, saving the new charge. Clients will be able to do this via InCommand at the Client, Location, DocumentType, or Dictator Level. The fields are called "Send Fax Cover Page" and will be set to "ON" by default. You can also suppress the cover page on a per-Associate basis.
Below are the areas that will include settings that pertain to the new fax cover suppression changes and how to control them along with the pricing. Keep in mind, if you would like to continue to have the cover page sent as it currently is now, you will not need to make any changes to the following sections. If you would like to turn it off for a client, just disabling it at the client level will accomplish that. If you will need to specify certain locations, dictators, or associates for example that may need different on/off settings, you will need to make the proper adjustments to accomplish that. By Client The client level setting is located under InCommand > Client Maintenance > Client Defaults >Per Page Fax Settings > Send Fax Cover Page. Turn it ON to send a cover page with a fax for this client. Be aware that Send Fax Cover Page options also need to be enabled in Document Type, Location, Associate, and in User Settings.
The fax cover page can use the fields below to construct customized header and content also found in Client Defaults under InCommand > Client Maintenance > Client Defaults > Per Page Fax Settings.
