Using Cover Sheets

A cover sheet is the first page of a message. It generally contains an overlay, such as your company logo, and merge values, which allow you to insert specific codes that are then replaced with the corresponding values when sent. If your cover sheet in TCfW contains the string

$Name$

this merge value is replaced with the full name of the recipient specified in your message header, provided this recipient is stored in a Kofax Communication Server address book.

To select and use an existing cover sheet do the following:

  1. Open a message by selecting New from the Message menu or clicking the corresponding icon on the toolbar.
  2. Click anywhere in the Send Options area to open the Send Options window.
  3. Click the Change Cover button to display a list of cover sheets.
  4. Select a cover sheet with a single click. Your selected cover sheet should appear in the Cover Sheet field above the list.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Click Text/Image from the View menu to see how your cover sheet will look. (To learn how to create cover sheets, please see the KCS Clients Administrator’s Manual).
