Compose
The Compose page is where Secure Mail Packages are constructed and sent. The top section is where you can specify one or more recipients, a subject to appear in the email and an optional message. When an email is sent to the recipient, it will contain a unique URL to access these files and the message for this Package.
You can password protect the Package, set an expiration date, enforce a maximum download limit, allow message replies, and more. Based on the configuration, not all options may be available and some options will have defaults or ranges enforced.
The Attachments section is where files can either be attached from your local computer, the Secure Folders, or the Shared Drive.
The following options on the Compose page specify the recipient and Package settings.
