Email Ins and Outs

There are four ways ManagePro Integrates with Outlook:

 

1.

ManagePro integrates with MS Outlook such that once the email preferences are established, the emailing of MPro records, progress updates, todos, and events can be sent directly from MPro as an email message to a recipient using the right-click menu option or clicking the email icon found on the tools section of the Ribbon Control. This is very useful when needing to delegate Todos, or notifying team members of new project records or progress updates

 

Example:  Emailing record from MPro

The Drag and Drop from MS Outlook to MPro feature allow email messages from your MS Outlook in-box to be converted, transferred and associated directly with MPro records as progress updates, todos, and events.

Next, are attachments?  If there is an attachment on the MPro record being emailed, click the “Attach” button in the email editor. Doing so allows you to select the attachments or alternatively, you can click the “browse” button (not shown in the screen capture below) to browse to the location of your document.

Once the document is attached, you can decide to send as a zip file or uncheck and the document will be sent unzipped. Larger sized documents are ideal to send as a zip file. At this point you can click the “send” button to send or proceed to the steps below to customize the fields included in your MPro record email message

6.

At the bottom of the email editor you can check or uncheck the Basic Format of the text.  Basic Format acts like a toggle and when checked provides more of a plain text format without a table and when Basic Format is unchecked, a table format is displayed.
