Create Fax Page List

This Fax tool creates a list of document pages to include in a fax. Once the fax page list is created with this tool, you may later append additional pages using the Append Pages tool. See Fax tools for more information.

Inputs

Location type of fax pages

The type of location where the Interaction Fax format (.I3F) documents reside. You should always specify an integer value of 0. This is because UNC (or File Path) path is the only type currently accepted. In a future release, types such as email message or other formats might be used. Other values are reserved for the future. You may also enter a server or system parameter using the following syntax: ${parameter_name}.

Type of file

Type 0 for an Interaction Fax format (.I3F files), 1 for one of the Supported Bitmap File Formats, or 2 a printable document file.

Note: The 32-bit version of the application associated with the document type (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Acrobat) must be installed on the CIC Server. Documents created in version previous to Office 97 will not work because they do not support the ActiveX Printable Document interface. Documents must be converted to Office 97 versions before they can be used with this tool.

First page to retrieve

Type 1 to start at the first page, or specify a page within file.

Last page to retrieve

The last page of the document to retrieve. Enter a page number greater than First Page to Retrieve, or enter -1 to use all pages from First Page to Retrieve to the end of the document.

Path to page source

Specify a path and file name. If you specify only a file name, the default path is value in the Work Directory server parameter (set in Interaction Administrator. If you want to use a path other than the default path, use a fully qualified UNC path. You may also enter a server or system parameter using the following syntax: ${parameter_name}.

Caution: If you specify a file not on the local server, you may experience a noticeable delay if that server or named file is not available.
