Notes and warnings

Recording an email

  • When you record email using the Microsoft Outlook SOI plug-in, the application uses the email address to identify the contact against whom the activity must be recorded. When the email address does not match an email address against any of your existing contacts, the address is recorded as an "unknown attendee".

Do not show this message again

  • Select the Do not show this message again option when selecting the Create Contact or Assign Contact function if you do not want to display this message ever again. When you select this option then only the options to assign/create or cancel a contact are displayed in future.

Different email addresses

  • If the unknown attendee's email address differs from the contact 's email address, you are given the option to assign the unknown attendee's email address as the contact's work email address.

Assigning unknown attendees activities

  • When you create a new contact, the activities for this previously unknown attendee are re-assigned to that contact.

Hints and tips

Redisplaying excluded attendees

  • When you select to exclude an attendee, the attendee is no longer displayed in the listview. You can redisplay the excluded attendees by selecting the Show excluded attendees option.
