Job Tickets

Note: Job Tickets are not available for Ad hoc contacts.

If you have the appropriate permissions set, you will be able to send "job tickets" with the files you send. The Job Ticket gives users a place to enter name, address, shipping, and billing information, as well as instructions and details about the accompanying job.

Note: To be available to fill in job tickets, you need to have the appropriate privileges assigned by the administrator of the MassTransit server.

When you are allowed (required) to fill in job tickets, a web job ticket form appears as you open the "Send Files" tab of your MassTransit web account. You may be configured to use a custom job ticket or the default one provided by Group Logic. The default web job ticket contains the following fields for entering information about the sent files:

To send files, fill in the desired fields and click the Proceed button to continue. This closes the job ticket form and you will be able to designate and send files to a desired contact.

If the administrator of the MassTransit server has enabled the DISPLAY_NEW_JOB_TICKET_BUTTON setting in the mtweb.ini configuration file, a button will appear at the bottom of the job ticket Send Files page that will start a new job ticket transaction when clicked. When you click on that button, the job ticket form will appear and you will be able to enter information about the new file transmission.

Note: Web client contacts do not receive job tickets for downloaded files. If you want to receive job tickets for the received files, a script needs to be created by the administrator on the MassTransit server to export the shipping information into a text file in the folder where the downloaded files are placed.
