Introducing Transmittals:What is a Transmittal?
What is a Transmittal?
A Transmittal is a recorded electronic communication.
In context, a transmittal refers to distributing a document electronically and recording the transaction. Thus, the distribution list, sender, send action and receive action are all recorded and auditable.
Features
- You can create a transmittal, attach documents to it and send it to your chosen recipients, which can be both internal and external.
- Review transmittal recipients are given a predetermined amount of time to respond with any comments they may have. This is called the Closeout Period.
- Users without Documentum access will be able to receive a transmittal via an external website called the Transmittal Portal.
Note
The Transmittal Portal will not have a direct connection to Documentum and users will not require a license.
Benefits
The main benefit of using transmittals to communicate documents is that they are recorded and auditable which protects both Heathrow and its Suppliers.
