Drag and Drop Emails with Attachments: If an Outlook Message has an attachment, the attachment will also be converted when you drag and drop the item. In this case, you can convert the item to a Progress Update, Todo, Event or Document

 

When dragging and dropping emails with attachments, follow the instructions below:

 

ManagePro and MS Outlook must be open

Navigate to the Main Workspace View

Highlight a record in the tree (this is the record where you'll drop the Outlook item with an attachment)

Select an email message in MS Outlook with an attachment

Drag the message down to the ManagePro application in the Task Bar on your computer but don't release your mouse yet

This makes the Mpro application active (displays on top of all other applications that may also be open)
