  • If the Profile does not have an e-mail address and you want to send a fax, select the Send Fax if Profile Does Not Have an Email Address checkbox.

NOTE: You must have fax software installed to use this option. Please contact FIMS Support for more information.

  • If you want to hide the list of recipients when you send the e-mail (blind carbon copy), select the Hide Recipient Email Address List checkbox.

NOTE: You should select this option if you want to protect the privacy of the e-mail recipients, or if the list of e-mail addresses is very large.

  • If you want to send the e-mail to both the Profile and their spouse, select the Include Spouse Email Address checkbox.
  • If you only want to send the e-mail to spouses and not to the main Profile, select the Spouse Email Only checkbox.

IMPORTANT: If you receive a message requesting access to Outlook, select the Allow Access For checkbox and click Yes. If you do not select this checkbox and click Yes, then you will have to confirm every single e-mail address before the message will be generated. If you click No, the process will close without creating an e-mail message.


 Tip: Saving Message Defaults

If you have any standard e-mail messages that you send on a regular basis, you can click the Defaults button in the Send Message Options window and save your message settings. When you run the report again, you can load the defaults instead of typing in the information again. 

1. In the Send Message Options window, configure the desired settings (including the Subject and Message fields), and click the Defaults button. The Defaults Maintenance window opens.
