This section contains additional Mail Configuration parameters settings for a default Outgoing Method, how duplicate mail will be identified, display of ID numbers, alerts for the Mail approval process, restrictions on printing mail with incomplete address information and settings to optimize performance and the user experience when printing and returning to previously viewed mail.

Default Outgoing Method  

This setting allows your office to select a system wide default Outgoing Method of Email or USMail for Messages created in the IQ4 user interface. Note: If the IQ4 user has a default Outgoing Method selected in his or her IQ4 User Preferences, then it will be used in place of the method selected in this field.

Show Duplicate Letter Check in Mail and Batched Mail Explorers

By default, IQ displays duplicate letter counts in the Mail and Batched search results pages. If you do not want the duplicate letter counts to appear, then select No for this setting.

Duplicate Letter Check should include all versions of a Form Letter

Select Yes if you would like IQ to include all of the versions of the same form letter when it checks for duplicate letters. Select No if you do not want to include versions of the same form letter in duplicate letter checking.

Number of days to limit duplicate letter checking against completed mail

This setting can be used to limit the number of days IQ uses when searching for duplicate letters for the same person or household. Leave this empty to include all duplicate letters regardless of how long it has been since a duplicate letter has been sent to the same person or household. If you enter a number of days, the duplicate mail message text (on the Mail and Batch Search Results pages, inside a Mail record, and in the scrolling grid's mini-Mail record) will contain an asterisk along with a tooltip text of "Counts only pending mail or mail completed in the last xx days".

When Sending Email or Printing Final for the Mail with duplicate letters (Excludes service related mail and T-mail), IQ4 only.

This setting can be used to automatically close duplicate letters when printing or sending email from the IQ4 user interface. By default, this is set to off (i.e. No Automatically Complete as Duplicate).

When this feature is set to "Automatically Complete Duplicate Letters," the Messages that are auto-closed will be changed to Completed status, will contain a "Recorded as duplicate..." note in the Message Comments field, will no longer have the duplicate Form Letter assigned, and will specify these details in the Status Log. Note: The duplicate check includes both pending and completed Message records with the same letter for the same Contact.

Show Incoming Reference Number

Select Yes if you would like IQ to display the Incoming ID in the ID column of the Mail panel in People records as well as in the blue General Information section heading on the Mail panel in Mail records.

Send Automatic Alerts when Requesting or Denying Approval of Mail

When this is set to Yes, IQ will send a Mail alert to the approver(s) when Request Approval is selected in the Status field for Mail records. In addition, Mail alerts will be sent when the approver denies approval. IQ also sends Mail alerts for unsent e-mails.

Suppress Agency Contact Duplicate Letter Warnings

Select Yes if you do not want IQ to display duplicate letter warnings for Agency Contact records. Select No if you would like IQ to display duplicate letter warnings for Agency Contact records.

Number of Minutes to Cache Mail Objects

This setting allows you to control the number of minutes that IQ caches mail objects. The default setting is 5 minutes, however, you may need to change this depending on the number of Mail records in your IQ database. Contact Leidos Technical Support or your IT Consultant for assistance with this setting.

Check Printer Validity Using Active Scripting

When Yes is selected for this setting, IQ can use Active Scripting to identify the printer trays from the installed printer drivers on your workstation.

Retain Merge Codes When Customizing Letters

When No is selected for this setting, IQ replaces the merge fields (from the form letter) with data in the customized letter. If your office does not print or send the customized letter on the same day it is created, then you may want to select Yes for this setting to ensure that the correct name, address and letter date appear in the customized letter.

Restrict Letter Printing if Postal Address is incomplete

Select Yes if you want IQ to restrict the printing of letters that do not contain a complete mailing address. When this is selected, a domestic address must contain a City, State, Zip and at least one Address or Organization line. A foreign address is considered incomplete if Address Lines 1 thru 4 or Country are missing. When an incomplete address is detected by a printing process, the print actions will remain unavailable until the address is corrected, another address is selected or the user selects the Override check box on the Mail record page or the "Allow incomplete addresses to be printed" on the print letters dialog.

Default Buffer Size for Printed Mail

This setting controls the number of letters that will be merged into a single XML file during printing. It also controls the number of XML files that are downloaded to the workstation at one time. So, if the buffer size is set to 10, then 10 letters are merged into a single XML file and 10 XML files are downloaded to the workstation for each "pass".

Age ranges for Mail List Processor Aging Columns

This setting allows you to select the age ranges for reports created using a Mail List that contain the aging column. Enter the ranges in the format: 1-3, 4-10, 11-365 to report on 0-3 days, 4-10 days, and 11-365 days. Note: Changing these values can affect existing reports and changes to this parameter should be done with this understanding.  

Warn if the size of the Printed Merged Letter exceeds this number of bytes

Enter the number of bytes for the maximum size of the printed merged letter. IQ will display a warning message for form letters that exceed the number of bytes entered in this setting.

Leave this field blank if you do not want IQ to display a warning message.

Warn if the size of Email and Attachments exceeds this number of bytes

Enter the number of bytes for the maximum size of an outgoing email and its attachments. IQ will display a warning message when the size of an outgoing email (and its attachments) exceeds the value set in this field. Leave this field blank if you do not want IQ to display a warning message.

NO MAIL ALLOWED Affiliation codes

This setting allows you to define a subset of affiliation codes which will prevent any IQ user from adding, printing or emailing mail for People records which contain one of the affiliation codes listed in this field. The only printing that is allowed is a Print Copy of an existing Mail record with the status of Completed. Note: Mail records are still created for incoming emails that are added to a Set or processed directly into your People database. If those People records, however, contain one of the Affiliation Codes in this field, users will not be able to print or send email for those mail records.

Issue Code to assign to Sample Mass Mailings

This setting is used to activate the "Mass Mailings" option under the New button in the Contact List results in the IQ4 user interface. Click in this field and select the unique Issue Code (such as MASS.MAILING) you would like IQ4 to assign to Message records that are created by the Mass Mailings wizard. IQ then uses this Issue Code to exclude the Contacts who have already received a mass mailing within the past 365 days.

Workflow Configuration

This section allows you to define general rules that apply to all Workflow records, regardless of the template used.  

Workflow Search Mapping URL

This field is used to identify the location of the Geographic Information System (GIS) map used by Fairfax County.

When Queued to - Only show details on workflow that are queued to a user, group, or department as set under Record Security for the workflow. Secured workflow records that are not queued or owned by the user will only show "Secured Record" without detail information. When this option is selected, IQ displays the Workflow ID and the users who have access to the secured record. When this option is selected, the message text "For assistance you may contact User(s) <name of user(s)>." will appear on the Attachments and/or Documents panel in the Workflow record for any attachments or documents the user does not have security rights for.

Never - Never show detailed information about the "Secured Record" to the user, unless that user has access under Record Security for the workflow. "Secured Record" will also appear on the Attachments and/or Documents panel in the Workflow record for any attachments or documents the user does not have security rights for.

Always - Always show detailed information about the "Secured Record" to all users.

The kind of detailed information that is shown to users who cannot access "Secured Records" would be:

"Secured Record: For assistance with Workflow # 841472 you may contact User(s): Mark Young, Wayne Rogers."

This only gives the user the information they need to make an inquiry: the WF ID # and who has access to the "Secured Record". When Always is selected, the message text "For assistance you may contact User(s) <name of user(s)>." will appear on the Attachments and/or Documents panel in the Workflow record for any attachments or documents the user does not have security rights for.

Age ranges for Workflow List Processor Aging Columns

This setting allows you to define the age ranges for workflow reports created by a Workflow List that contain the aging column. Enter the ranges in the format: 1-3, 4-10, 11-365 to report on 0-3 days, 4-10 days, and 11-365 days.
