Support Accruent Virtual Folders

Displays the contexts listed in Accruent vaults as folders within the Outlook Mail Folders tree for drag-and-drop importing of email and attachments. For instructions, see Store Outlook Messages And Attachments.

Message name builder

Use the lists to construct a naming standard for messages that you save in the vault. Each list contains message properties from which you can select. Type separator characters to format the naming standard for best readability. Only valid Windows file name characters are allowed. The Example field displays a sample name based on your current settings.

All users of a vault should configure the same naming standard so that they can identify all messages.

Note:

For assistance configuring these options, consult a System Administrator.
