Configuring Parcel Management settings
When first accessing Parcel Management, the settings must be configured. Once in Parcel Management, select the settings gear on the top right of the Parcel Management screen. The following settings should be addressed:
- Current Active Mail Room: The Parcel Management is associated with the Mail Room Point of Interest within an environment. Multiple parcel managers may exist within an environment so the selection will be based on that occupant's location, but it can also be changed at any time based on the package receiving location.
- New Parcel Defaults: The default carrier may be selected from a drop-down menu, otherwise, Postal Service is set as the environment default.
- Notifications: Select/de-select options for email and/or SMS notifications for occupants receiving packages.
