MOVEit Overview

MOVEit Transfer is a secure file transfer server that provides solutions for the handling of sensitive information, including financial files, medical records, legal documents, and personal data. MOVEit securely collects, stores, manages, and distributes information between organizations and external entities.

• The MOVEit Transfer application provides a secure way for DRS staff to securely exchange files packages with Taxpayers and other external users. Each package typically consists of a note (a basic message) and one or more attached files. Users are set up with accounts and mailboxes where they can send and receive packages. See directions for logging in as a new user.
• Non-Registered users will need to have a Department of Revenue employee initiate a MOVEit communication with the User to invite them into the system. Once this occurs, the user will receive two emails.

Package Contents

The email contains the normal header for emails such as the Recipient(s), the Sender, the Subject, and the current Mailbox. For packages that you sent, the header contains the package's Read Status, and a Recall option.

Buttons and links display actions that can be performed on the current package. The actions available on your package depend on how your organization is set up.

• Trash - Move the package to the Trash mailbox.
• Delete - Only available to packages in the Trash mailbox, this permanently removes the current package from the Trash mailbox.
• Reply - Start composing a new package to the sender of the current package. The body of the current package will be retained and each line marked with the ">" character.
• Reply All - Start composing a new package to the sender of the current package, as well as the recipients of the current package. As with Reply, the body of the current package will be retained and each line marked with the ">" character.
• Forward - Start composing a new package with no recipient. As with Reply and Reply All, the body of the current package will be retained and each line marked with the ">" character. Unlike Reply and Reply All, any attachments in the current package will be copied to the new package.
• Move/Restore - In all mailboxes except Trash, this will be "Move". In Trash, it will be "Restore". They both function the same way, allowing the user to select a mailbox to move the current package to.
• View Package History - View any audit log entries associated with the current package.
• View Print Friendly - View the package in a printer friendly format. (Navigation is suppressed and the package is forced into a 660 pixel-wide page).
