Send Packages

When you have finished adding documents to a package, you can send it to Meridian Portal where it can be downloaded by the package recipients.

Use these steps for PowerUser and PowerWeb.

To send a package:

1. Right-click the transmittal sheet for the package that you want to send.

   The shortcut menu appears.

2. Point to Document Workflow, and then click Send Out.

   The Execute transition ‘Send Out' dialog box appears.

3. Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.

4. Click Finish.

   The transmittal sheet and its linked documents (the package contents) are routed in a workflow to the Meridian360 account and the Status is changed to Sent Out. You can view the workflow as described in View the Current Workflow.

   After a few minutes, the recipient of the package will receive an email notification that contains a link to the package in Meridian Portal. They can see the package as described in View packages and work with it like any other package.
