When you have filled in all the fields and attached any documentation you click send at the top of the from.

The Hold for Preview option is so you can review the final version of your document before you send it. Your document will remain in your Web Client mailbox with the status "Held for Preview." To transmit the fax, you must view it and click the Release button.

The Delay Send option is used to postpone the transmission of your document to a later time or date. RightFax normally sends outgoing faxes as soon as a phone line becomes available, but sometimes you may want to delay an outgoing document to take advantage of off-peak phone rates or ensure that the recipient is available.

This table lists the cover sheet, files, and library documents that comprise your document. Using the Control buttons, you can delete or reorder the attachments as you like.

The transmission options:

Fax Priority. Specify the priority that is assigned to this fax within the queue of waiting faxes. Select from the options listed (low, normal, and high). If high priority does not appear as a choice, then it is not available to you (this is controlled by the administrator).

Delete After Send. By default, your faxes will not be automatically deleted from the Main fax list regardless of their status. However, you can specify to Always delete a fax or to delete it On Success only.

Verify ID of Receiving Fax Machine. You can specify the remote fax ID of the intended recipient's fax machine or server. If you enable this feature, the fax will not be sent unless the remote ID matches the ID specified. You can use the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) wildcards if you are not sure of the exact ID. Asterisks represent zero or more characters or digits. Question marks represent exactly one digit or character each.

More Document Options

This page lets you set additional document-specific transmission options. The default values are assigned by your RightFax administrator. After making changes, click the Submit Options button. The new information is only valid for the document currently being created and will not be saved.

Use Fine-Mode Resolution for Fax Body. Documents sent to fax addresses can be sent at two different resolutions: Normal (100 x 200 dots per inch) and Fine (200 x 200 dots per inch). Normal mode works well for draft-quality resolutions and shorter transmission times, while fine resolution is recommended for high-quality printed documents. Check this option to use fine mode.

Send Cover Sheet. Check this option to include a cover sheet on your document. By default, the RightFax Web Client will automatically create and send a cover sheet from the information entered on the Create/Edit Document page.

Use Fine-Mode Resolution for Cover Sheet. Check this option to render your document cover sheet in fine mode (200 x 200 dots per inch).

Cover sheet to use. Select a cover sheet from the drop-down list.

Form Type to Use. Overlay forms are image files that combine with your document so the two images appear together. Company letterhead is a commonly used overlay form. You can add one overlay form per document. Select the form you want to use from the list.

From Options. If you are creating an outgoing document, you can change your sender contact information as it will appear on your cover sheet. This lets you change the contact information for this document only. It will not affect your default settings.

Adding Phonebook Entries

The RightFax Web Client lets you create a personal phonebook of fax and e-mail addresses. You can add both individual entries and group entries that let you easily send one document to multiple recipients. Phonebook entries can be private or published. Private phonebook entries can be viewed only by you. Published phonebook entries can be viewed by any other RightFax user on the network.

To Create an Individual or Group Phonebook Entry

1. From the Web Client folder view, click the New Fax button. The Create/Edit Document page opens.
2. Under Primary Information, click the Phonebook Search button.
3. Click the New Entry button to create an individual phonebook entry or the New Group button to create a group entry.
4. Enter a name for the entry in the ID box, and check the Published option if you want this phonebook entry to be available to other users on your network.
5. If you are creating an individual entry, complete the addressing boxes. All boxes are optional but you must enter at least one fax number or e-mail address. If you are creating a group entry, type the phonebook IDs you want in the Members box, and press ENTER between each ID you add. Group phonebook entries can only be made from existing phonebook IDs. If you want to add a new fax or e-mail address to a group phonebook entry, you must first make it an individual phonebook entry.
6. When you have completed the addressing information or added all the phonebook IDs you want, click the Save button. The new entry will be immediately added to your personal phonebook.

To Select an Address from Your Phonebook

1. Under Primary Information, click the Phonebook Search button to display all the entries in your personal RightFax phonebook. You can select one phonebook entry per document. If you select a group phonebook entry, the document will be sent to all members of that group.
2. Click the check mark next to the entry to which you want to send the document. This returns you to the Create/Edit Document page with the recipient's addressing information entered under Primary Information. If you selected a group phonebook entry, the phonebook ID will appear in the Name field.
