Creating your fax broadcast list

Fax broadcasting requires a CSV list to be uploaded with the numbers in column A. This step explains how to create it. 

  1. Launch your desired spread sheet application such as Microsoft Excel and create a new spread sheet.
  2. Insert desired fax numbers in column A, ensuring they are properly formatted to include both country and area code, e.g. the number (02) 9988 7766 would best be formatted as 61299887766.
  3. (Optional – for mail merge) – You will need to name each column with a header row. The first cell (A1) must have the word “Fax”. 
    Note: The first column must always contain the fax numbers as UTBox will not accept any other format, all other header rows must not contain spaces and should correspond to your merge fields.
  4. Once you have created your columns and inserted all relevant data the document must be saved as a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file. To do so click "File > Save As". In Microsoft Excel 2007/2010 you will need to click on the circular office button in the top left hand corner followed by selecting "Save As" from the drop down menu. 
    Note: The default excel spreadsheet format is *.xls so the document must be saved as a *.csv or the UTBox system will not accept the list.
