Configure WorkZone Mass Dispatch

This topic is targeted at WorkZone administrators who will configure WorkZone Mass Dispatch.

Prerequisites:  

  • SmartPost must be activated and configured.
  • An e-Boks dispatcher that is configured to use the Digital Post 2 must exist.
  • See Configuring SmartPost in the WorkZone Process Administrator Guide.

You configure Mass dispatch in WorkZone Configurator.

  1. In WorkZone Configurator, go to Process > Processes.
  2. Point to the Mass dispatch process.
  3. Click Edit process parameters.
  4. Enter values for the parameters.

Some of the Mass dispatch parameters are similar to SmartPost process parameters.

Parameter Default Description

SPDocumentSource

 

Select the origin of the created SmartPost message. The possible settings correspond to the entries in the custom domain ACTOPR, for example SP, SmartPost, DP, Digital Post, and so on. The organization must provide this information. The setting is shown on the document in the Origin field in WorkZone Client.

MaxCombinedMessageLength

10485760 (10 MB)

When a user starts a Mass dispatch process, the Mass dispatch process calculates an estimated size of each of the messages sent to the recipients. Before the Mass dispatch process continues the process, the estimated size is compared with the MaxCombinedMessageLength setting. If the estimated size exceeds the specified value, the user is asked to reduce the size of the documents and then try to send the message again.

The reason for this is that large documents may cause the Workflow Host to run out of memory later in the flow, which causes workflows to be terminated without the user being notified.

Generally, the default value is used.

DefaultMaterialId

 

The e-Boks material that will be selected by default in the Start mass dispatch dialog box.

To configure e-Boks materials, click Process > E-boks material. See e-Configure e-Boks materials in the WorkZone Process Administrator Guide and e-Boks materials in the WorkZone Configurator Administrator Guide.

DefaultDispatcherSequenceId

 

The default dispatch sequence that will be selected by default in the Startmass dispatch dialog box.

Important: The selected dispatch sequence must have e-Boks as the first dispatcher.

To configure dispatch sequences, click Process > Dispatch sequences. See Configure Dispatch Sequences in the WorkZone Process Administrator Guide and Dispatch Sequences in the WorkZone Configurator Administrator Guide.

Important: Verify this value after successful installation. After installation, the dispatch sequences may have been renumbered.

DefaultRemotePrintTypeId  

The print type that will be selected by default in the Startmass dispatch dialog box.

To create or reconfigure print types, click Process > Print types. See Configure remote print in the WorkZone Process Administrator Guide and Print types in the WorkZone ConfiguratorAdministrator Guide.

ReportId

 

Select the report you want to use for the history document.

ValidationReportId

 

Select the report you want to use for the validation report.

RecipientReportId

 

Select the report you want to user for the recipient report.

RecordType

PROHIST

The document type of the history document that is generated by the Mass dispatch process.

RecordState

 

The document state of the history document that is generated by the Mass dispatch process.

TitleTemplate

{0}: {1} {2}

A template that is used to create the title of the history document. By default, the template has placeholders for the process type {0}, the process title {1}, and a date stamp {2}.

ValidationProperty

 

Select the custom document field that holds the values.

ValidationValues

 

Specify which custom document values are allowed. Users will only be able to select documents (letter document and attachments) with these values in the Start mass dispatch dialog box.

DocClassificationThresHold

 

The maximum document classification that is allowed to be used with the Mass dispatch process. Documents with higher classifications than specified for this parameter will not be available for selection in the Start mass dispatch dialog box.

DefaultExcludedCprStatuses  

Select the CPR status codes that you want to exclude from the mass dispatch. You can select 80, Inactive, emigrated or 90, Inactive, dead.

The status codes that you specify will be shown as default values in the Start mass dispatch dialog box.

BatchSize

200

Specify how many letters you want the Mass dispatch process to send in a batch. The batch size affects performance and the frequency of status updates that are shown in the preview pane in WorkZone Client.

You can set the batch size from 0 and up to 5000 letters. If you set the batch size to 0, all letters will be sent at the same time.

A batch size between 200 and 1000 letters is recommended.

The default batch size is 200 letters.
