Post to Web

Resumen

• Requests with a delivery method of post-to-web, are processed through Delivery Email.
• For requests in this queue, Delivery Email sends an email to the requester with one or more links to the requested document.  
• Multiple options are available when setting up Post to Web delivery including:
  • How many days the document is available to the requester.
  • How many times the document can be viewed by the requester.
  • Whether the cover page is included, if yes whether to include it as an attachment to the email (recommended) or merge it with the document.
• Introduced in Relais 2014., is the option to require the patron to Login prior to accessing a Post to Web document and to accept a Terms of Use statement. Note, when configured this option is not used when delivering documents via Post to Web to other libraries.  

Configure delivery email - Post to Web

For customers using the Relais Hosted Service contact OCLC Support and provide the following information:

• Specify the number of days the document is accessible to the requester. Once this number of days has passed Purge FTP deletes the document from the server automatically and the requester no longer has access. The number of days can be included in the email message sent to the requester.  
• Specify the number of times the requester can access the document. The number of views allowed can be included in the email message sent to the requester. 
• Specify whether to include a coverpage, if yes specify whether to merge the coverpage with the document.
   Caution: It is recommended that the coverpage NOT be merged with the document. When the option to merge is turned on errors and problems are frequently encountered when attempting to deliver electronic documents that incorporate security. In these cases it is often not possible to merge the coverpage with the document. By default the Merge Coverpage option is set to No.
• Use Batch Processing (yes or no) - default is Yes
  • Set to Yes, Delivery Email sorts all Post to Web requests in the queue by email address and then sends only one e-mail with multiple links. 
  • Set to No, sends each document link in a separate e-mail message.
• Specify the following for situations when the requester cannot access the Post to Web document, e.g., if the number of days has passed.  
  • A redirect url and the text to display 
  • An email address and the text to display (optional)
