An email job is simply a collection of email tasks group together as a job. The Job Properties screen allows you to define certain default information concerning an email job.
Jobs can be setup in ExpressEmail in any of 2 methods:
1. |
Manually setup job and email tasks by direct data entry in the program. |
2. |

Method 2 is the most common method of building jobs in ExpressEmail.
