Use the TCM control to interactively generate documents in TCM (Tungsten Communications Manager) through a Tungsten TotalAgility form. To include any previously collected data, you should initialize the control with the data backbone variable from your process.

For example, you can add a manual activity to a process with a data backbone variable as the input or retrieve the backbone variable using the GetJobVariable API in a standard form.

A TCM control has the following modes of operation:

• Compose: Create a document based on the selected template from a document pack, document template, or a template from a letterbook (the end user selects the template at runtime). See Compose mode.

• Rerun: This mode displays the control in a rerun mode. You can modify the previous selections and the documents in the pack are updated on rerun. See Rerun mode.

• Review: Displays the control in read-only mode to allow reviewing of generated documents. See Review mode.

Using the TCM control, you can distribute documents through the TCM server based on the distribution mechanism such as email or print.
