Content Manager 25.1 Content Manager

# Creating a new communication

When creating a new record, an Add Communication tab is available if it has been added to the Record Type.

The fields on the Add Communication tab:

Alternatively, right-click the record to create a communication for and on the Communications menu, click New Communication.

- Date of Communication - date and time when the communication has been sent.

  It defaults to the current date and time.

- Direction - select whether the communication is incoming, outgoing or internal.

  Content Manager will use the same direction by default the next time you create a communication.

- Medium - select the medium by which the communication has been sent:
  - Post
  - Email
  - Facsimile
  - Courier

  Another four options can be implemented by a user of user type Administrator by setting up the custom types in the caption editor.

- Communication Between - use the Add Sender and Add Recipient buttons to select people involved in the communication.

  Each communication must have one sender and at least one recipient.

- Default Address Type - the address that will be used for the Locations in the Sender and Recipients fields.

  The default is set by the medium selection:

  - Street sets the default to Street Address
  - Mailing sets the default to Postal Address
  - Email sets the default to Email Address
  - Facsimile sets the default to Fax Number

If you want to set a different address type than the default, e.g. a postal communication sent to the street address, you can change the address type before selecting the Location.

Alternatively, change the address type using the right-click menu on the Locations that have been selected already.

NOTE: Only the address types that have a value in them will be available.
