Bulk Export File

The purpose of this is to enable your printers to know whether to print a bill or not without requiring any back office eBilling functionality. It contains the details of everyone registered for a given department and:

• The account number they're linked to

• The notification types

• Whether they are opted into eBilling/eNotifications

• Whether their opt in method was Email (standard), Email (GOV.UK Notify), Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp

To se this up, within OneVu Control > Data Silos > Connection Settings there was a third setting on top of those just discussed in the last section. This is:

Notification extract file path

You simply enter the location where you want the file to be saved - the only caveats are:

• The location is in UNC format i.e. \\server\location\

• The location is accessible to the integration proxy service which is responsible for enabling communication between OneVu and the back office system

This allows you to set the location for a file to be output on a daily basis that contains the details of whether account holders have opted in/out of ebilling/enotifications or not.

A file is output:

• per silo (and so the location can be different for each output file if desired)

• at the same time every day*

*The time of day is controlled by IEG4 and as such is set up as a part of your implementation of this functionality.
