Custom Fax Header

 

The Impact Fax broadcast contains a powerful feature which allows you to create custom fax headers at the top of each faxed page.  The Custom fax header is a cheaper, more timely alternative to Customized cover pages since the personalized information is contained on the same page as your fax content and does not require an additional page to be faxed.

 

The custom fax header consists of three areas, Left, Center and Right.  Each position can contain any combination of static text as well as a dynamically filled variable.  The dynamic variable will be replaced with information from your fax list at broadcast time.  For example, if you specify the FAXNUMBER variable, at broadcast time this will be replaced with the fax number that that particular document was sent to.

 

 

Removing a Variable:  Press ALT + d to remove an existing variable from the fax header. 

 

Adding a Variable:  Press ALT + I to insert a new variable.  This will open the following window:
