How to Utilize the Email Outbox

The email Outbox is a way for the user to select a group of Hurrtrak “outputs” and send them via email. All outputs are supported including graphics, text, tabular data and reports.  In addition, all of the various Hurrtrak components include this function... i.e. SloshView, Model forecast, etc..

To add items to the Email Outbox… while viewing Hurrtrak information, simply select the “Add to Email Outbox” menu item or easier yet, select the Add to Email Outbox toolbar button.

When you have added a number of items to the Outbox, you can then select the “View Email Outbox” option... again best done via the toolbar button.

This will display a window which shows all of the contents of the Outbox, as well as options to Delete any or all of the items, and the key option.. to Email the contents of the Outbox.

When selecting the Email option, the user will be presented with the following screen allowing them to add the Email subject, text and recipients.

The Email outbox “spans” application modules... meaning if you add items to the outbox in the SloshView module, the Model Forecast module… and others, you are able to email them all as a group from any of those modules or the Hurricane Tracking application... i.e. mixing many types of output, all in 1 email. The recipient receive the following type of e-mail with multiple attachments.
