Storing transmission reports

Zetafax keeps a detailed log of all sent faxes, together with any errors which occurred. The Zetafax Client provides several options for viewing these, including: All faxes sent by the user today. All errors reported by the fax device. All errors which occurred on the current message.

This log is generally kept for just a few days, since the high level of detail it gives is not normally needed after that time.

Additionally, each user can decide whether they want Zetafax to store transmission reports for faxes which they send. These list the options used when the document was last faxed (whether a coversheet and letterhead were used, etc), together with the people it has been sent to, and when.

If you enable this feature, then this record is kept indefinitely, and is stored in the same directory as the original document file which it refers to, in a separate text file called ZETAFAX.DIR (one per directory). This facility enables you to look at a directory on the screen and quickly see what has been sent, with a long-term record of the exact date and time of transmission. It also means that in companies which regularly send certain files, the options used to send these files will be remembered and used for subsequent transmissions.
