| Word | Description |
| delayed capture | When shopping at an online store, it is considered best practice for the merchant to abstain from charging the customer's credit card until the goods are shipped. Delayed capture is the second step in the delayed settlement process, following the authorization of the charge that was made when the order was first placed. When the order is fulfilled, the information from a prior authorization is used to capture funds. See also: authorize charge |
| delayed settlement | This is a payment process involving two transactions. Authorization is acquired in the first transaction, generally when an order is placed. Funds are captured in a second transaction once the order has shipped. See also: authorize charge, delayed capture |
| deny subscriber list, deny list | Email addresses that would ordinarily have posting privileges can be placed on a deny list to revoke posting privileges. List users who post inappropriate content can be placed on the deny list as a means of enforcing list policy. See also: blocklist |
| digest subscriber | A digest subscriber receives email sent to the mailing list in batches; many messages rolled into one. By default, a digest subscriber receives email after 30 messages, 48 hours, or 64 kilobytes of message body text have accumulated since the last digest email. Digest subscription is an alternative to regular subscription. If the digest feature is enabled, list users can select either of these two options when subscribing. See also: moderator, poster, poster list, regular subscriber |
| directory | A listing of users or companies and their contact information. Workspace features include configurable directories with search and download capabilities. |
| document | Within a group, the term document refers to any kind of file. Microsoft Word (.DOC), Microsoft Excel (.XLS), Adobe Acrobat (.PDF), multimedia (.MPEG, .WAV), executable (.EXE), graphic (.GIF, .JPEG), text, and so on are all considered documents in that context. These files reside in folders and are associated with specific groups. |
| document revision | A revision is an edited or otherwise altered version of a document associated with the original document in a group. All revisions of a document are listed together in the documents repository and can reflect the progress of a document from the initial draft to the final published version. |
| document type | A document type is a categorization of one or more content types. Because many browsers submit slightly different content types for what is really the same type of file, Workspace associates each of those different content types to a single document type. For example, GIF, JPEG and other similar content types are all grouped into the document type of "image". |
| Domain Name System | A system of servers distributed over the internet that are used to translate fully qualified domain names, such as those used in email addresses, into IP addresses. When transferring an email, the mail transfer agent uses DNS to locate a server that accepts email for the address domain. See also: fully qualified domain name, IP address, internet address, mail transfer agent |
| domain, domain name | The unique portion of a URL, the domain usually appears directly after "http://www." in a website's internet address. The domain consists of domainname.tld (where .tld stands for the top-level domain, such as .org, .com, .edu, etc.). The unique domain may also appear in email addresses following the @ symbol (e.g., username@domainname.tld). See also: accepted domains, fully qualified domain name, subdomain, top-level domain, Uniform Resource Locator |
| dynamic members mailing lists | A dynamic members mailing list uses a configurable query to populate the regular and poster lists, then maintains the lists dynamically so they are always in sync with the members database. |
