In the main panel, FTSpooler shows each of the formatting process for each job:

  • Date/ Time - of submission
  • Queue - the queue the data was processed in
  • Process Name - shows the name of the process used to modify or format the document. Some processes show additional information after a colon sign ":". For instance, the print-formatting process "formtrap" is followed with the name of the form; delivery engine "smtp", is followed with the document filter name.
  • Document Type - the file type that is produced by the process. "txt" is raw data, "pcl" or "pclxl" or "ps" are formatted and print ready documents.

In the document processing panel, you can see delivery history of each document.

In the delivery status panel, FTSpooler shows:

  • Status - job status
  • To - form(s) used in the processing the document
  • Error Description - errors in the formatting process
