Edit Email Filing Options dialog box

Use this dialog box to:

Configure how email messages are handled after they are filed to Project Center from your email application. You can automatically move email messages to a different folder after they are filed to a Project Center project. For example, you can have email messages automatically moved to the Deleted Items folder if you want to delete them after they are filed to a project.

Enable or disable automatic item filing.

The options you select below apply only to email messages. Filing options do not apply to tasks, appointment/meetings, contacts, distribution lists, or journal items.

Newforma – Items to File

Move Filed Email to

Select the email folder in which to move email messages when a user clicks Synchronize from the legacy Project Center Add-in for Microsoft Outlook, or when a users clicks File from Items to File Folders from the Tasks panel of the Project Email activity center, or when messages are automatically filed. Click the icon to select a folder. For example, you can have email messages automatically moved to the Deleted Items folder if you want to delete them after they are filed to a project.

Filed emails should not be retained in the Newforma Items to File folder or subfolders. Items in these folders are periodically examined and filed into their corresponding projects. This process will not cause duplicates to be filed, but the categorization of progressively larger sets of previously filed emails will significantly slow the rate at which autofiling proceeds.

Store in Project Subfolders

Mark this checkbox to move the filed email message to a subfolder within the folder selected in the field above. The subfolder will be created automatically and is given the label listed in the Email Folder Label field of the Admin tab of the Edit Project Settings dialog box.

Automatically File Items from My Newforma Items to File Folder

Mark this checkbox to have the Project Center Server automatically file items you placed in your email application’s Newforma – Items to File email folder at a set interval. When you drag and drop email messages into your email application’s Newforma – Items to File email folder, the Project Center Server files them in Project Center and moves the messages to the folder listed above. See File Email Items Automatically Using the Legacy Project Center Add-in for Microsoft Outlook for more information. If this checkbox is cleared, the email items in the Newforma – Items to File email folder must be filed to the folder above manually.

If you use the automated filing option, you can copy email messages by Ctrl-dragging them from your Inbox to Newforma – Items to File, then manage the original message as needed in Outlook. This enables you to keep copies before the originals are deleted.

File in Project

Move Manually Filed Email to folder selected above

Mark this checkbox to automatically move email messages to the email folder selected in the Move Filed Email to field above after you manually file them. If this checkbox is cleared, the email messages will not be moved after they are filed.

Show "My Projects" in Project List

Mark this checkbox to load and show all of your projects in the File in Project dialog box. You can speed up the time it takes to open this dialog box by disabling this option to prevent your My Projects list from loading. If you have many projects in your list, this will greatly increase loading speed.

Show "Recent" Projects in Project List

Mark this checkbox to load and show your twenty most recent projects in the File in Project dialog box.

If you select both options, My Projects will be at the top of the list, but you can easily switch them off to see just the Recent Projects. You must select at least one option.
