Settings

The settings tab allows you to choose your default preferences related to the iAddress™ program.

Language

Use this button to switch between English and French displays in iAddress™. Please note that not all USPS terms have French equivalents and will be displayed in English.

Enable Audit Trailing

This feature will track manual changes you have made to your database. For example, the Audit Log will show record deletions, additions, and any changes you made through the Address Lookup screen.

NCOA (SSL) Secure Transfer

Enable the NCOA (SSL) Secure Transfer to have your information encrypted when using the NCOA/CMA feature.

Check for Updates on Startup

If you have an Internet connection on this computer and would like iAddress™ to automatically check the update server for any program updates, leave this option set to “ON”.

AutoSave

Your job file is automatically saved after each step in the correction/validation and sortation process. Should you unintentionally exit iAddress™ without saving, you can recover your job by clicking the “Go to AutoSaves” button. AutoSaves are named by the date and time of their creation.

To prevent auto saves, turn this option to “OFF”.

Important!

You should periodically delete your old auto saved files to conserve hard drive space.

Data Paths

The Data Paths tab allows you to choose your default paths related to the iAddress™ program.

Default Paths

You may set the default folder that iAddress™ uses when it:

  • Import files to create jobs
  • Exports and saves
  • Export for Printing

You may either set these manually to a preferred folder, or check the ‘Remember Last Path’ checkbox to allow iAddress™ to default to the last path used.

 Postal Data Location

Lists the paths where iAddressTM stores its data files.

 DBF Code Page

You can set the default handling of dBase files.  Older versions of dBase use OEM codepage to store accented characters, while newer versions use ANSI codepage to store accented characters.  An incorrect setting may result in accented characters being improperly displayed.

CA Sort Preferences

The CA Sort tab allows you to choose your default preferences related to the Canadian Sort.

Bundle Breaks
 
  • During the sortation process, you may choose to indicate the first, last, or first and last piece of each bundle, container, or pallet. The default characters provided indicate the breaks; if you would prefer to change them simply enter a new character for each type of container. If you do not wish to have the breaks indicated uncheck the “Bag/Bun column add bundle break” checkbox.

OEL

  • The Optional Endorsement Line replaces the bundle labels by printing this information directly on the address labels on the first line above the address.

Important!

  • The OEL is created automatically during the sort but it is an optional feature. You must manually select the OEL field in Windows Print or DOS Print in order for it to be printed on the address labels. If you export your addresses for printing, you must position the OEL field on your labels. If you prefer not to use the OEL, bundle labels can still be used.

Pallet/Monotainer Defaults:

  • If you use pallets or monotainers for your sorted jobs, you can enter your preferred quantities and dimensions here. This will replace the Canada Post maximum and minimum amounts with your selected quantities and dimensions.
