Job Categories

A category is intended to represent a particular production phase or scenario that impacts what should happen to a Mail.dat file. Mailers often have to handle different types of jobs differently. They also sometimes have very distinct phases within their job workflow where different things must be done with the Mail.dat file. In some cases, the Mail.dat files should NEVER be upload to the PostalOne! production (PROD) environment (such as test jobs or jobs that are being sent to a commingler).

DAT-MAIL’s Job Category feature can be used to help manage both different types of jobs and job phases and prevent Mail.dat files from going to where they should not be submitted.
