Generating Email to Multiple Contacts
Effective with version 1.92 of the Hudson local system, you may now generate email to multiple people when sending confirmations.
If you have version 1.92 already, this feature is disabled by default and must be enabled before it will work. To enable, there are 2 configuration options that must be set. To set these items open a Hudson local system application and select: Configuration > General Configuration > Advanced Features > System Profiles Tab. Locate the following two headings:
- Send Confirmation Mode
- <none>: - No email addresses will be provided
- Single Email Select: - <default setting> Email address that was loaded or entered in the reservation will be set as the confirmation address.
- Multiple Email Tree Select: - Will enable the ability to select multiple email addresses when sending a confirmation.
- Send Confirmation parameter string - This is the user configurable string that will determine which areas of the database the email addresses will be loaded from. The options, along with the database group values, are:
- Reservation email list: 1
- Previously send addresses: 2
- Affiliate profiles / contacts: 3
- Charter profiles / contacts: 11
- Group profiles / contacts: 4
- Sales profiles / contacts: 5
- Driver email list: 6
- Employee email list: 7
- Employee2 email list: 8
- Vendor email list: 9
- Invoice email list: 10
- User Defined email list: 12

Enabling the feature-
To enable this feature for sending reservations via the HWebAgent two new ‘System profile’ configuration options were added:
1) Send confirmation mode

For sending documents via the HWeb Dispatcher a new ‘Hot key’ was added: Send Document
also the ‘Grid print’ hot key function supports a new Parameter string option (SENDDOCUMENT / SENDDOC)
