Polling
Consignment entry in SendIT can be automated using its polling feature. This process monitors a specified folder for data files, and when they appear, it will load the file, creating consignments and printing labels automatically.
The polling process is a valuable time-saving feature of SendIT for customers that have their own system that records the basic detail required by SendIT for generating consignments. The customer enters the detail into their own system, then outputs the data to a text file, which SendIT then loads through the poll process to generate consignments and print labels. Refer to your SendIT supplied for customisation of the poll process to meet your needs.
To start the polling process, click the Poll Now menu on the main screen.
The accepted record count will be incremented with every record that is successfully processed. If the poll process cannot process a record (usually due to invalid data), the rejected counter will be incremented, and the record will need to be manually updated.
To manually update rejected entries, click the Rejected counter.
A list of rejected records will be displayed in the grid. To correct an entry, select the entry in the grid and modify the data in the form fields. A message detailing the reason for the rejection will be displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the form.
