Recipients

Recipients of a print job can be any combination of Equitrac User Accounts, Equitrac Departments, or Windows Active Directory Groups. Alternatively, users can enter a Release key.

Recipients must meet one of the following criteria:

  • a user ID in the current domain
  • a domain-qualified user ID, such as rtm\bleatham (where rtm is the domain name)
  • a valid Active Directory Groups distribution list

Users can either type these recipients directly in the Users or lists field, or click the Add button to search for recipients.

As a best practice, encourage users to select recipients from the Search dialog box. For users and departments, these names are validated by Equitrac before populating the list. If a user types in a recipient incorrectly, CAS notifies DRE, and the user receives an notification message that a recipient is invalid. The print job is not added to the secure queue for any invalid recipients.

For users or departments, clicking Add brings up the Search dialog box. Users can leave the Criteria field blank to view all users/departments within the database, or they can enter criteria to narrow the search.

After making selections and clicking OK, the recipients are added to the Users or lists field. Recipients selected from the Search dialog boxes are prefaced with a "D" for departments, or an "AD" for active directory groups. If the user manually enters a department or Active Directory group, and does not preface the name with an A or AD, Equitrac tries to resolve the name against the User Accounts database first, then against departments, then against the Active Directory Groups list.

In cases where departments and Active Directory Groups have the same name, the user must enter the correct prefix. Otherwise, the department name is used to determine the recipients.

If the user clicks Add Groups, the Select Groups dialog box opens. The user can choose the Object Types or locations to search, or just type a group name in the Enter field, then click Check Names to verify the name against the list of available Windows Active Directory Groups.

LDAP groups are not supported.
