ODBC Database Phone Book
FaxPress also supports ODBC based external phone books. This allows you to connect to
existing databases and use them as phone books for faxing. ODBC Phone Book support
allows the administrator to:
Specify the external database to use as a FaxPress phone book
Map FaxPress phone book fields and data base fields
Create different views of the database by specifying filters
The administrator can create any number of corporate phone books. Each corporate phone
book can connect to a different database and contain any number of views (filters) of that
database. Views can be created, for example, to show a customer list in a specific state or
country. ODBC Phone Book support provides a sophisticated yet intuitive user interface for
the administrator to create all those views.
Once the views are created, they become visible to all the users. The end user can use the
Corporate phone books in exactly the same way they use the FaxPress native Corporate
Phone Books. The end user can also create local ODBC Phone Books right from their desk-
top.
FaxPress ODBC phone books can work with any ODBC compliant database, including:
Any SQL compliant DBMS servers, such as Microsoft SQL server, Oracle, Informix
etc.
ISAM type databases such as: dBase, Excel, FoxPro, Microsoft Access database
Personal & Corporate Cover Pages
FaxPress allows users to create their own cover pages while supporting a globally acces-
sible corporate cover page. FaxPress provides an easy-to-use cover page editor to facili-
tate the cover page creation process.
