SendIT – Freight Despatch Module Version 1.6

Setup

After installing SendIT, and running it for the first time, SendIT will take you through the setup wizard.

Firstly, select whether you want to install the database on the local computer (use this option when SendIT will be used on a stand-alone computer), or in a network share (use this option if SendIT will be run from more than one computer, so multiple computers will be able to share the same database.) If you choose Network Database, you will require a shared network location where the shared files can be stored, and users will require full rights to that share (your network administrator will need to set this up before you proceed with the setup.)

Next, enter your account details (your sales rep should supply you with an account number). Leave the Connote Prefix blank – we will come back to that during the carrier configuration. Once your details are entered, click Create:

If you have multiple accounts, you can continue to create additional ones, or just click Next to continue. (NOTE: you can add additional accounts at a later time if necessary.)

Next select the carriers you want installed in SendIT from the list of available carriers. (NOTE: The first carrier you select will be set as the default carrier, but you can change this later on if required.) Click Next when done.

Finally, SendIT needs to be registered. If you have a MAPI-compliant email program (e.g. Microsoft Outlook) installed and configured, you can simply click the Email button, and you will get a registration key by return mail. If you use Web Mail (instead of a MAPI-compliant app.), you can click the Copy button, create a new email in your web-mail client, and paste into the body of the email (right-click and choose Paste, or press <Ctrl>V). Send the email to the address shown on the registration screen. Alternatively, you can call the phone number shown, but you will need to have the registration screen in front of you, as you will be required to quote the Build no, Licence No, and Registration Name exactly as shown on the screen.

Once you have your registration key, enter it into the field provided, and click

Register. If you are not able to get your registration key at this time, you can click Skip to continue, but you only have one month’s use of SendIT without registering the software.

Refer to Registration for more details.

NOTE: SendIT requires re-registering every 12 months.

Initial Setup is now complete! The final setup requirement is to configure your carriers (refer to Maintenance > Carriers.)

Logon

SendIT requires users to login, allowing system administrators to control access to various features in the system, and for users activities to be logged.

The system comes with two pre-configured users:

• The System Administrator (User Id = SYSADM, Password = aaaa). This account has full access to the system.
• A Generic User (User Id = USER, Password = 1234).

Passwords and access can be changed on these accounts, and new accounts added (see Security.)

Enter your User Id and Password to login to SendIT.Register. If you are not able to get your registration key at this time, you can click Skip to continue, but you only have one month’s use of SendIT without registering the software.

Refer to Registration for more details.

NOTE: SendIT requires re-registering every 12 months.

Initial Setup is now complete! The final setup requirement is to configure your carriers (refer to Maintenance > Carriers.)

Consignments

Select Enter Consignment from the Consignment menu. Most of the work done in SendIT is performed from the consignment screen.
