Here are the final two new posts in the series of new features in our Document Manager 2.6.
Infonic Filing Assistant
Filing Assistant is a small utility that runs in the Windows System Tray and monitors a folder for any new files, usually a sub-folder of MyDocuments. When a new document appears in this folder it will pop-up and ask the user to profile the document for Document Manager and then move the document into the Document Manager repository.
This allows any application that has a ‘File / Save As’ menu option to achieve a relatively seamless integration with Document Manager. It can also allow integration with applications that support drag-drop of files into folders, like Software Fax solutions.
Email Signatures
This may sound like a minor feature but is actually very important. Previously when sending a document as an attachment to an email from Document Manager any pre-configured email signature that you had configured in MS-Outlook was not appended to the message.
This was not a failing of Document Manager but a result of the MAPI functionality provided by Outlook, and was the same for any application (including Windows Explorer) that used MAPI to send emails.
In 2.6 we now detect the presence of MS-Outlook and use it directly instead of using MAPI and this allows us to utilise the signature feature, so now all your emails can be sent with the required company disclaimer and signature.
