29.06.2020

Enhancements

• Custom Processes can be set up that use a view in FYI to trigger the process. This can be a system view or you can set up your own views to use.

  Custom Processes can also be set up so that the notifications are sent out automatically as a summary.

   

  Note: Summary Notification is only available when "Document" is selected as the Trigger and when an FYI view is used to trigger the process.
  
  An example of these two features is when there are documents "Pending Approval". You set up the Custom Process to send out a notification to each of the relevant approvers, for example every 12 hours. When the Summary Notification is triggered, the approver receives a notification.  Depending on the users settings, this will also get sent as an email. The notification and the email show the number of emails and documents that the approver has pending approval. The email includes a link that the Approver can click to go directly to the Documents list automatically filtered to show only the emails/documents that are "Pending Approval" and where that user is selected as the Approver. The link in the notification displays the Documents list automatically set to the "Workflow - Pend Approval" view which can then be sorted or filtered on the Approvers name.

  For an example of the notification that is sent, refer to Reviewing and Approving Emails and Documents and for details of how this is set up refer to Custom Processes using Views and Summary Notifications.

20.06.2020

Enhancements

• Update to Attachments. Refer also to Filing Email Attachments and Filing Email Attachments - Non Default Configurations.
  
  For any outgoing emails that you are sending with attachments, the attachments will never be auto-filed. This is always the case regardless of if you have Save Attachments Separately set as "On" or "Off". Attachments will often be documents already filed in FYI, so this prevents duplicate documents in FYI. 
  
  Regardless of the settings for Save Attachments Separately and for In Tray Review/AutoFile, once an email has been filed in FYI any attachments for both incoming and outgoing emails can be displayed and opened from the drawer of the sent/received email in the Attachments section. The Attachments section also shows if the attachment has been filed or not.
  
  The Attachments section now includes the Open icon for all attachments.
  - You can open an attachment if required from the filed email by clicking the Open icon.
  - If a filed email in FYI is showing attachments to be filed, you do not need to file it to see its contents. You can open it from the Attachments section by clicking the Open icon.
  - If you do not want to file the attachment, or it has not been filed separately,  it can still be accessed from the original email at any time by clicking the Open icon next to it in the Attachment section.
  
  The Save Attachments Separately is only applicable to incoming emails. When this is set, if you want the attachment in an incoming email to be saved as a separate document, you need to manually save it. This can be from Outlook or from FYI. If attachments are not filed separately inside FYI, they still exist inside the email and you can access them from the Attachments sections in the drawer of the filed email.
  
  When you are sending an email with attachments by selecting one or more documents that are filed in FYI, you do not need to file any of attachments as they are already filed in FYI.  Refer to Creating an Email by Selecting Attachments in FYI. When the sent email is filed, you can open the Attachments section and click on the attachment to display the drawer for that attachment. You can also click the Open icon to open the document that was sent as the attachment. The attachment cannot be saved as a separate document in FYI as it is already a filed document.
