Virtual Postman Manual

Envelopes are the packages that are used to send documents from the server to other destination. With Virtual Postman, you can create various types of envelopes depending on how you want this envelope to be delivered.

To create an envelope, you simply click on the "Envelope Type" drop down and select the type of envelope, and then click "Create Envelope", "Collation" allows you to select if you want any child documents to be automatically attached to the envelope. Child documents are documents which belong to the parent document, such as a POD that belongs to an invoice. The following different types of envelopes are available for use on Virtual Postman as shown in the selection list in Figure 8.1, “Envelope Types”
