I have Formativ Runtime 2.0, Stationery 2.0 and Templates 2.0. I have created a stationery. In order for others to share it will they need at minimum Formativ Runtime 2.0? Please explain.
Thank you for your enquiry. Yes, to be able to load the created stationery into a GroupWise mail message using the Stationery solution, Formativ Runtime 2.0 and the Stationery Applet needs to be installed on the target user’s workstation. You also need to copy your stationery HTML file (and any images) to the Stationery location on the other users’ workstations. To find where the Stationery files are located, see the Settings… option on the main Stationery dialog.
Formativ Runtime 2.0 is the core framework required to execute Formativ Applet solutions (such as Stationery, Templates), similar to the way you need JAVA installed to execute JAVA based solutions or the Microsoft .NET Framework to run .NET based solutions.
–I am having problems with loading a background image on my stationery. You don’t see it on the stationery when you create a new email within Groupwise. I have found some documentation regarding that it may need to be done by a URL image — I don’t quite understand this. How do I get it placed on the web? –Also, is there a way to lock the stationery so that it cannot be editted by everyone which uses it? –I am using the [Type Here] function on several fields within a stationery. Can you control the tabbing order? — I have one area which I have [Type Here] and it does not show up when you are in Groupwise, the others do?

The problem is that we cannot programmatically attach a background image to the message. This means a background image referenced in the stationery needs to be placed on a Web site to which you have access and the public can access as well. If you don’t have access to your own Web site, as an example you could probably upload it to a Flickr account, or one which enables a permanent and public URL to the image that you use in your stationery.

You could make the stationery file read-only but you cannot prevent users editing the contents of a draft GroupWise message.

No.

That sounds like either a HTML or a GroupWise specific issue. Are you able to send the Stationery (as an attachment) to support@advansyscorp.com for review, along with a detailed description of where the problem lies?
I just discussed with management that licenses would need to be purchased for stationery to be used throughout our organization (per your explanation above –). There is some concern from management that they were not aware of this…does this apply the same to templates as well.?
Yes, you require a license of Stationery and Templates for each workstation on which the software is used. When Stationery and Templates are both required, generally the Presentation Pack is the most cost effective option. Further information on pricing can be obtained by discussing with your Advansys reseller or writing to sales@advansyscorp.com.
