Misc

Option Description
Max rows per page For a package or an account list, set how many rows are displayed per page.
Enable public URL
Note: This field and checkbox does not appear if (1) Public URLs are disabled server-wide or (2) Public URLs have been disabled for this particular user.
A public URL allows external senders to submit packages to registered users and dropboxes. External senders no longer need to be individually invited to submit a package, although that functionality still exists. For more information, see Enabling and Sharing your Public URL.

You can enable or disable the Enable public URL feature for your account, as long as Public URLs are allowed by your admin.

Change Password

Option Description
Old Password Enter your current password.
New Password Enter a new password. Based on your Faspex Server settings, this password may need to be a strong password that contains at least six characters (with a minimum of one letter, one number and one symbol).
Password Confirmation Confirm your new password and click Change Password.

Edit Contacts

If you are permitted to send packages to external email addresses, and you have sent files to a new email address, Faspex automatically saves the recipient in your contact list. If your account has also been configured with Keep user directory private set to Yes, each recipient of your packages and each sender to you is automatically added to your contact list. To remove external email addresses from your contact list, click the Remove link.

Edit Distribution Lists

When you select Edit Distribution Lists, Faspex lists your existing distribution lists, if any, and gives you the choice of editing the existing lists or creating a new list.

To create a new list, click the Add New Distribution List link.

For Name, enter a name for your distribution list. For Contacts, click

to open a list of user and workgroup names to choose from.

Important:
  • Do not choose a name for your distribution list that is the same as a member user or workgroup name.
  • A package cannot be sent if any recipient in the distribution list is an invalid user. If a user is external and sending to external users is disabled, the external user would be considered invalid, regardless of whether the email address is active.

To modify or delete a distribution list, go to Account > Edit Distribution Lists. In addition to allowing you to add a new distribution list, this shows your existing lists and allow you to change list names, add or remove contacts, or delete the list altogether.
