Advanced Navigator - Other Views - Mail Schedule View

Mail Schedule View allows you to do several things. First, if you use Pro-Mail 4, you can export the required file from this view. Second, you can generate an XML postage export. Third, if you are shipping PMOD, you can generate the Open & Distribute Export from this View. Fourth, you can update container date fields, USPS Pickup, Reservation Number, and enter a Truck (Trailer) and Stop Number. And also, if you have the FAST module, you can make appointments.

FAST is a separate module. If you are interested in adding this feature, please contact Client Services (Contact Us).

In Advanced Navigator, click on the Other Views' floating tab and select Mail Schedule View.

The Mail Schedule View will open.

An explanation of the menus and icon bar is shown below the print screen:
