Emails and Open Attached


MikeGMi

Question

We are now using Open Attach (OA) and beginning to deal with emails in OpenAttach.

 

Finding that our OA file page quickly gets filled up with emails which is not helped when a one email can start a chain of emails consisting of one-liners which all take time to at to OA and then Rename and Re-Categorize to try and make sense of each email to avoid each email having the same File Name. I am aware that these can be put into folders if this gets out of hand.

This is very time consuming.

How does everyone deal with this.

Would welcome suggestions

if you have made sure the subject line on the first email starts with Ref: bb-bpyrefno - subject where bb stans for branch and bpyrefno is full policy ref eg abc01pc01 then open attach should automatically file these every half hour with out any intervention on your part including replies

Thanks Colm for your speedy response. 

The emails are initially have the details you have stated in the subject line but the problem seems to be that you then have a number of Files with the same name apart from a number in brackets and you are not aware if the email in in or out so you have to go through each email to see which one you might need to go back to.

It can also be the case that you get a reply while you are still in a file to which you need to reply too.

    • Hi Claire,   We took on INVU back in 2008 and still use it today in its Virtual Cabinet guise. No issues with printing from VC whether that be to network printers or pdf and there are also options to send from VC to email which can be useful.    Overall, we remain very happy with VC so have seen no real advantage to move over to OpenAttach.   One little issue is we never managed to get the automatic indexing / filing of standard OGI/OpenWord letters and emails into VC. We just click a few buttons to file them manually.   Happy to chat through further if you wish - I will be at the Members day this coming Thursday    Darren
    • Hi @Clare Carter   I probably cant advise on day to day use / issues, but may be able to help although not sure of your question   Are you still on Virtual Cabinet (VC) and how are you trying to print on OGI - and what / where from   Also - I'm pretty sure there are minimal issues with transferring to OpenAttach - what are the concerns there?  
    • Just wondering if any of the current members have previously been using Virtual Cabinet, and which originally was Invu provided by Linden House.   It is only relatively recently that Open GI have come up with Open Attach but there is an issue in transferring data.   If anyone is still using Virtual Cabinet which evolved from Invu and Linden House, could they let me know whether they had any issues with Open GI and printing.    Thanks
