Create MRDX

The Create MRDX Action task is used to register a job on a SureTrac server using an MRDX file. The MRDX contains information about the job and its finishing, as well as integrity features use by SureTrac. This task requires a PDF file as an input, along with metadata generated through a document that contains PitneyBowes Scan Codes.

Task properties

General Tab
  • Register Job to the SureTrac Server group: Check this option to enable the group.
    • Server Name: The complete URL of the SureTrac server.
    • Process Verification Job Name: The SureTrac job that this PDF should fall under. Use the button next to the list to retrieve a list of available SureTrac jobs from the server.
    • Mailrun ID: A unique identification for the current job. This ID must never be the same between two mail runs - we suggest using either %f or %u , which are both always unique as they are based on date and time.
    • Use Job ID: Check to send the Job ID chosen in the PitneyBowes Scan Code utility along with the job.
  • Use External MRDX and PDF: Check this option to ignore the MRDX creation and use an existing PDF and MRDX instead.
    • Files Location: Enter the path and file name (without extension) of the PDF and MRDX file, or use the Browse button to select either. The PDF and MRDX file must have the exact same name apart from the extension.
  • Use MRDX as new data file: Ignore the PDF file and use the MRDX as a job file after this task. The PDF is discarded. If this is unchecked, the PDF and metadata are used.

On Error Tab

For a description of the options on the On Error tab see Using the On Error tab.

Miscellaneous Tab

The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.

It contains a text area (Task comments) that lets you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with the OK button and are displayed in The Task Comments Pane.

Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in the Process area.

The tab also provides an option to highlight the task in The Process area with the default color, set in the Preferences (see Colors), or the color selected or defined under Highlight color on this tab.
To revert the selected highlight color to the default color, open this tab, turn the Highlight option off and close the dialog with the OK button; then turn highlighting back on.
Highlighting can also be turned on and off via the task's contextual menu and with the Highlight button on the View ribbon.
