The Fax & Email Monitor application allows you to monitor faxes and emails that have been sent (or are pending or scheduled to be sent) from your store via FTD Mercury. For example, if statements/invoices have been sent via fax or email, of if you send email delivery confirmations, you can use this application to view the status of the faxes and email messages sent. If there is an error associated with a fax or email message, you can use this application to resend it. You can also select a different phone number or email address for the fax or email message.

The Fax & Email Monitor automatically attempts to find new faxes and email messages every minute. However if you want to refresh the display automatically, click the Refresh button on the toolbar.

The menu bar, toolbar, and Details button at the bottom of the screen allow you to perform different functions in the program, such as resend a fax or change a fax number. These three items access the same options, and change depending on which tab you are currently working in (for example, if you are in the Email tab, you have an option to change the email address and if you are in the Fax tab, you have an option to change the fax number).

The Fax & Email monitor has three tabs: Fax, Email, and Scheduler. The Fax tab displays by default.

Fax Tab

The Fax tab displays all of the statements or invoices that you have faxed using FTD Mercury. Below is a list of field descriptions for this tab.
