3. Specify the Output Formats for the TM Product

Once you have set up a TM product and selected a target population, the next step is to select the distribution documents that should be generated and printed when the product is processed.

The following table describes the distribution documents that can be generated for TM products.

Note: A “format” for each distribution document must be set up before the document can be used with a product. The formats consist of parameters (such as the truck sequence to use when printing bundle tops). Multiple formats can be set up for each document, and a format can be used with multiple products. See Creating New Formats for more information about formats.

Document	Description
3541 PO Report	The 3541 post office report in the format defined by the Post Office.
Admail	A file with selected address information that is exported to /dti/exchange/cm. It can then be imported into Admail software.
Bag Summary	A bag summary report. Format Type “BagSumm” must print after mail labels.
Bundle	Bundle tops for papers distributed in bundles to carriers.
Create Draw/Credit	The Create Product Delivery Credits report lists the routes that received credit for delivering the TM product, and the number of pieces that were delivered.
File Map	A file map defined using the “TM” usage.
Insert Draw Export	A format for exporting draw information for a TM product.
Labels	Mailing labels.
MailMart Export	Mailing labels in the Mail Mart format.

Output File	A file with selected name/address information that is sent directly to /dti/exchange/cm (which can be accessed from Unix).
Phone Number Export	A file with the phone numbers of selected occupants is exported to /dti/exchange/cm.
Postal List	A list of selected names/addresses in postal route, walk-sequence order. You may also use this type for preparation of 3rd Class PO Reports.

TeleDirect Delete TeleDirect File	Files that are sent to /dti/exchange/cm for the purpose of interfacing with a TeleDirect system. TeleDirect is a telemarketing software product. The TeleDirect file is used by TeleDirect to list the names and phone numbers subscribers that should be solicited. The TeleDirect Delete file is used to remove subscribers from the list. To use these formats, your selected audience must be subscribers to a publication—active, temp stop, or former subscribers.

Within the product list, the output formats that been selected are displayed as symbols. To see a legend that describes these symbols, right-click on one of the symbols and select Legend.

2. Click the Output tab.
