Automatically saving addresses to your address book
When you enter new recipient addresses on labels in PitneyShip, PitneyShip Pro, or PitneyShip Enterprise, you can have them automatically saved to your address book.
If you have a SendPro P, SendPro MailCenter, or SendPro Tablet and you enable auto saving in PitneyShip, PitneyShip Pro, or PitneyShip Enterprise, that change will also impact any meters that are connected to that PitneyShip, PitneyShip Pro, or PitneyShip Enterprise account.
Note: If using a SendPro Tablet, please sign in to PitneyShip on a computer and follow the instructions below.
- Select Settings > Preferences.
- Select Always save new recipient addresses while creating a shipping label.
- If this is checked, then the “Save Address” option will not be shown when creating a label and all recipient addresses will be automatically added to your contacts.
- If this is not checked, then the "Save Address" option will be shown when creating a label so that you can choose each time whether you wish to save the recipient address in your contacts.
Setting the default sender address
You can set the default sender (from) address used for shipping labels and stamps.
- Select Settings > Preferences.
- Select the address book icon, then select the desired address.
- (Optional) To have the system remember your last-used sender address, select Use the sender address from my most recent label for each new label.
Preventing users from managing shared contacts
Enterprise administrators can prevent users from managing shared contacts. If this setting is enabled, users will only be able to create, edit, and delete their own private contacts. This means that when users create contacts, the Mark As Private box will be checked and cannot be unchecked. Thus, contacts will only be visible to the user who created them.
Only enterprise administrators can access this setting.
- Select Settings > Address Book.
- Select Don’t allow user to manage shared contacts.
The features and options you see may vary depending upon your role and subscription. If you have any questions regarding your permissions, please contact your administrator.
