The Options > General window

The General options allow you to set basic parameters for TotalMail usage in your company.

These are the settings for the content pane in General folder.

How will users address mobile communication messages?

Use this box to configure the system to address messages to Driver IDs or Truck IDs.

  • If you select Driver, then the dispatcher must enter the Driver ID in the To field. For example, DRIVER1.

  • If you select Truck, then the dispatcher must enter the Truck ID in the TO filed. For example, TRUCK1.

If you use a D2Link Host with TotalMail, Trimble recommends that you set TotalMail to be driver-based. The TotalMail default is Truck, so you must change this to Driver.

General Options

Options in this section are as follows.

Keep history of mobile comm messages

When activated, this option enables TotalMail to keep a history of all messages. This option is selected by default.

Disable TotalMail 2000 Viewer History

Select this option to block users from accessing History folders in the TotalMail 2000 Viewer.

Users may still access History by right-clicking a message and choosing the History command. This option has no impact on the Admin login.

Mobile Communication Vendors

Use this section to select the number of mobile communications vendors used by your company.

  • Multiple Mobile Communication Vendors
    Select this if your company uses more than one mobile communications vendor.
    Note: If you select this, you do not need to select which vendors your company uses.

  • Single Mobile Communication Vendors
    Select this option if your company uses only one mobile communications vendor. Specify which vendor your company uses. When you select this option, two checkboxes display under it:

    • Omnitracs Select this if your company uses Omnitracs as its mobile communications vendor.

    • Show all vendors Select this if your company uses a single mobile communications vendor other than Omnitracs. When you select this checkbox, a list of all supported mobile communications vendors displays. Select your company’s mobile communications vendor from this list.
