Mailer Info

About the 'Mailer Info' screen:

The 'Mailer Info' screen stores general data about the mailer. This could be as simple as an institution who processes with AutoMail® in-house, or a service bureau environment where AutoMail® processing is performed on your behalf. Click Details, below, for an explanation of all elements on the Mailer Info screen.

Mailer: identifies the institution's name. (required)

Mailing Name: allows unique name identification (e.g. a mailing type).

Mailing Id: unique ID reported on Floating Batch Manifest report.

Mailing Date: is indicative of the date a mailing is to be delivered to the post office. This date follows the System Date from the machine / computer upon which AutoMail® is installed.

Entry Locale Key:

SHORT DESCRIPTION:

For purposes of Full Service Intelligent Mail® Barcode utilizing OneCode ACS®, and electronic upload of Postage Statement data, ...click the Find Locale Key if not already populated within your AutoMail® installation.

FULL DESCRIPTION:

When entering a zip code into the “Location Mailing From” area AutoMail® will automatically search for the locale key upon entering the 5th digit. Click the button to trigger the search as well, iff a zip code already exists in the field. If AutoMail® finds one match it will populate the field automatically. If AutoMail® finds more than one match, it is indicated in the 'Entry Locale Key' text box. Click the button when this occurs and you’ll be presented with a list of facilities matching that zip code. The descriptions of those zip codes should be obvious enough to pick the location to which you are delivering your mailings.

Enable Track My Mail enables setup for Pitney Bowes' "Track My Mail" solution. Track My Mail is a solution sold by Pitney Bowes which allows a mailer to track every mailpiece sent out. Once AutoMail® is configured to work in conjunction with Track My Mail, a file will be uploaded to a Pitney Bowes FTP server which will allow customers the ability to search and view all mail delivered to the post office.
