Xtender: Email a Document from Xtender

Summary

This tip is for anyone using the web version of Xtender, who would like to email a document or a link to a document from Xtender.

If you would like to email a document to someone, you have a couple choices. You can either email the document as a PDF, or you can email a link to the document which will require the recipient to log into Xtender to view it.

There are also a few ways to get to the email dialog box.

 

How-To

Task: Email a document from Xtender.

 

Instructions
 

  1. In Xtender (or Banner), search for the document.
     
  2. If you would like to email from the Query Results screen:
    • either select the checkbox in front of the document and click the Email button in the toolbar that appears (circled in green on the screenshot below), or
    • select the blue drop-down arrow in that row and choose the Email option from the menu that appears (circled in red).

      Then, skip to step 4.

  5. Select which pages to email.
     
  6. Enter a subject for your email, and, if desired, a note for the body of the email.
     
  7. Decide if you would prefer to send a link to the document in Xtender or a PDF copy of the document, and whether or not it should include annotations.
    • If you would like to email a link to the document, make sure the Send Attachments as Hyperlinks checkbox is selected.
    • If you would like to send a PDF copy of the document, unselect the Send Attachments as Hyperlinks checkbox and select the Use PDF Format checkbox.
    • If you would like annotations to be visible in the PDF, unselect the Hide Annotations checkbox.

    Note: If you are instead presented with an option to run job in background, along with a message that the server is processing the request, you may want to run the job in the backend. For more information, refer to this article: Xtender 16.3: Run a Job in the Backend (Print, Email, Export)
