Shares

The shares screen allows the administrator to create a place for faxes to be sent for retrieval by more than one person. Anyone with network rights to the shared folder can view the faxes sent there. Creating a location to share access to multiple users can be a good way to ensure that faxes are responded to in a timely manner, especially in a sales environment. Others benefits are the ability for employees to cover for each other when someone is out of the office and for electronic archiving of faxes to a single location.

Note: It may be necessary to enable ‘Simple File Sharing’ when using a Microsoft Windows network.
