---++ Define one or more actions connected to .DOT codes
Each dot code can trigger one or more actions. The word 'action' here means sending an email message.
   * Go to: Backoffice -> Disptach -> Dot Codes:
   * click the plus-symbol in the line of the dot code for which you wish to define an action.
   * or click an existing action to edit.

   * 1. To make it more easy two standard examples have been created. 
      * a. Email: this will send a message to specified address.<br>
        The to-address needs to be the correct mail address of the receiver.
      * b. Track & Trace: this will add some comment to a particulair shipment.<br>
        In this example the to-address is ttmail.7267@freecargo.com. In your cargoOffice you have to replace 7267 which your Carrier Number (which you can find on the left side of your front/backoffice).   
   * 2. Name of this action.<br>
     Action name is an arbitrary name for the action. The system doesn't use this name but please make sure to enter something meaningful describing the action.
   * 3. Email address is the email address where the message should go to.<br> 
     You can enter more than one email address separated by commas.<br>
     orderEmail (in between curly brackets) is a the fieldname of the the user inserting an order.
   * 4. Subject is text to go into the Subject: header of the email message.
   * 5. Attachment Yes or No tells the system whether to send the message as an attachment or not.<br>
     Especially messages to automated systems like planning systems or track & trace systems need data to be send as an attachment.<br> 
     By setting this field to Yes, the message is send as an attachment in stead of in the email body.
   * 6. Sequence number of this action. The lowest number is processed at first.
   * 7. Content is de message to be send. This is the content which will be sent after this action is triggered.
