Options Email page

If you want to be able to send a record to an email address, then you need to define the correct configuration of your email application within Content Manager.

Content Manager is compatible with Microsoft Outlook.

These email applications have been tested but if you want to run a different email application, it must be MAPI compliant and should be tested to ensure the functionality is satisfactory.

To enable the email send function, enter the appropriate details, choosing from the following options - the information displayed will differ according to the mail type you have selected:

• Use Simple MAPI to connect to your email client - use if you have an email application that cannot use Content Manager's extended MAPI functionality or if you want to use the simplified email dialogue box, which does not access email addresses from within Content Manager
• Send Records usingContent Manager email form - use the internal Content Manager email form.

  This enables you to select email addresses from the Content Manager Locations list.

  NOTE: Select Send Records using the Content Manager email form to display a form that will enable users to select Locations from Content Manager. In addition, you can choose from the mail address book.

  When Send Records using the Content Manager email form is not selected, then a standard email form will appear.

  Whether Use Simple MAPI to connect to your email client is selected or not depends on what commands are used to send the form:

  • If Use Simple MAPI to connect to your email client is selected, then the message will be sent using simple MAPI commands.
  • If it is not selected, then Content Manager will use Extended MAPI commands

• Add newly checked in email messages to the Recent Documents tray - select this option to provide quick access to new documents using the Recent Documents tray.
