C-238 03-02 Optional. For print only. To print correspondence from this rule on a COS printer identified in your system, enter the Printer Name value of a COS Printer data instance.

Before you attempt to print correspondence, install COS. See About the Correspondence Output Server.

If the correspondence is to be printed on a printer not known at this time, leave this field blank. The operator can select a printer, or your application can compute a destination printer. See More about COS Printer data instances.

Optional. For print only. By default, the system uses the standard activity named Data-Corr-Letter.Send to send correspondence items to a COS printer. To use another activity, create an activity with Data-Corr-Letter as the Applies To key part. Enter the Activity Name key part here.

Optional. Enter a display width as a percentage value between 10 and 100. If your application presents the correspondence item to a user for editing, the system sets the initial correspondence display window to this percentage of the user's full monitor width (in pixels). The user can adjust the window size.

Select a percentage that suits the correspondence. The default is 60 percent.

Optional. Enter a display height as a percent value between 10 and 100. If your application presents the correspondence item to a user for editing, the system sets the initial correspondence display window to this percent of the user's full monitor height in pixels.

Select a percentage that suits the correspondence. The default is 80 percent.

Select the initial disposition of correspondence items created by this rule:

• Send — When correspondence can be sent out without review and approval by a second user.
• Verify — When correspondence is verified by a second user before being sent out. The second user can update and send the correspondence or reject it. ECKSM 11/21/05This choice is useful for highly sensitive documents. At runtime, the system starts an additional flow named VerifySendCorr. The standard flow Work-.VerifySendCorr routes the correspondence item to the work group manager for verification, but your application can override this flow or portions of it. For background, see PDN article How to enable verification in correspondence rules.
• Attach and Hold — When correspondence is to be attached to a work item but is not sent out, or is sent out by a later utility activity such as Work-CorrNew. You can use this option with correspondence started with the standard flow action Work-.AttachandHold, which creates attachments assigned to a category.

Indicate what degree of editing is available at runtime to an application user for correspondence items produced by this rule:

• Select No Edit to prevent any editing by the user.
• Select May Edit to allow editing by users who update the work item.
• Select May Display if the application is to display the correspondence to users who process the work item, but the correspondence cannot be altered by these users.
• Select Must Edit if users processing the work item must complete information in correspondence items produced from this rule.

Select Must Edit if the user edits correspondence in conjunction with the flow action Work-.AttachAndHold to support sending Microsoft Word files in DOC format as email attachments. C-2132

Typically, the system sets this field to HTML or JSP, to indicate whether the HTML source is to contain HTML directives or JSP tags. For new rules, the initial value is JSP. R-18933

Use of JSP tags offers superior performance and other advantages over directives. Although both directives and JSP tags are supported, JSP tags are recommended for new development.

If this rule is circumstance-qualified or time-qualified, make this Generate For value match the Generate For value of the base rule. The base rule and the qualified rules must all use JSP tags or all use directives. B-20380

Do not save the rule form if you have composed HTML that contains both JSP tags and directives.
