Send Outlets

This screen allows to select which outlets you want to send, where to send them and to start of the transfer.

Outlet Selection

Select which outlets you want to transfer by ticking the box on the right of the outlets list. Then, you can specify which audits you want included in the transfer.

  • Select All / Deselect All will either tick or un-tick all outlets.

  • Current Audits will set both the start audit number and the end audit number to the most recent audit.

  • Reset Audits will set the start audit number to 1 and the end audit number to the most recent audit.

Where to Send to

  • If you select the Disk transfer, you can choose which disk from the list available.

  • The Email option will list all of the email names defined in the Settings screen. This option should only be used if you are using Microsoft Outlook as your email program. If not, see below for what you need to do.

  • The Network option will list all of the networked paths you have configured within StockManager.

  • The Cloud option will use the folder set up on the Settings screen.

  • The FTP option will use the server set up on the Settings screen.

Sending

There is an option to compress all the data files for an outlet into a .zip file. This will speed up the transfer time.

Click on the Prepare button. This will take the outlet data from StockManager and put it in the out-box ready for sending.

Click on the Send button. The transfer will be done and you'll be given a completion message.

Email without Outlook

If you are going to send data by email, but without using Microsoft Outlook, you should not click on the Send button. You will need to manually create the email and then attach the relevant data files. These can be found in the out-box, typically Stocks8/LinkSend.

In there, you will find a folder for each outlet that has been Prepared, and in that there will be an outlet file, e.g. outlet123.mdb, and a number of audit files, e.g. audit123-54.mdb

If you ticked the Zip up files option, the zip file will have a name, e.g. outlet123_13_05_22_09_37.zip This is for outlet 123 and then the rest of the name is the date and time that it was created.
