• Open FTSpooler.
• In the Queue Window, select the queue you want to apply rule files on.
• On the settings tab, select the appropriate rule file from the Rule file drop down menu.
• The entries of the Rule file are displayed in the Formatting and Replication box.
• Double click on the first entry in the list.
• To add a form, double click on the Forms (formatting), then click on Add/Remove Form and select a form from the drop down menu. Data identified by this name is formatted with the selected form. You can select more than one form, forms will print in collating sequence of their names as complete sets covering the entire input file.

  

  
  
• To add a queue, double click on Queue (replication), then click on Add/Remove Queue and select a queue from the drop down menu. Data identified by the name is redirected to the selected queue. Multiple queues may be selected.

  

  
  
• Ensure that you have a form and/or queue selected for each entry in the list.
• Documents not recognized by the rule file may be actioned or left to be reported as errors by the Spooler. Actioning by "default" without a specific entry is less desirable as generating an additional entry better documents what the Spooler is doing.
• To action, double click on --ID FAILURE-- and then click on Add/Remove Form to add a form or Add/Remove Queue to redirect to the data to a selected queue. Data that is not identified by the rule file will be formatted with the selected form or redirected to the selected queue.
• Click OK.

• Open FTSpooler.
• In the Queues Window, select the queue you need to configure.
• Four options present for Associated File entries:

• As well as - all delivery method(s) (email/fax/print) specified in the Associated File as well as those specified in the Queue properties are used.
• Ignore - the Associated File delivery method(s) in the Form are ignored.
• Overwrite (recipients of the same type) - If the delivery method specified in the Associated File and the delivery method specified in the Queue properties are he same (e.g. both email) then the delivery option specified in the Associated File is used.
• Overwrite (all recipients) - Delivery method(s) specified in the Associated File delivery options are used. If there is no delivery method (i.e. recipient) specified in the Associated File, the delivery method specified in the Queue properties will be used.
