Mail Management

Content

Introduction

]po[ Mail Management is a collaboration feature of ]project-open[. It allows assigning emails to users or projects to keep track of email communication in regards to a customer, lead, project, etc. Simply send an email (to, cc, bcc) to your ]po[ Server. Depending on the configuration the email will be either automatically assigned to an ]po[ User or Project or it becomes available in the ]po[ Mail Dispatcher

From there they can be assigned manually to Users or Projects. Please note that that assignments to other ]po[ Objects such as Tickets are are possible, but not yet supported with the current version. Please get in touch with us if you have additional requirements.

Setup and Configuration

Implementation

  • A new Portlet is available on "User Home" and  "Project Home" listing all emails assigned to the particular project or user

 Mail Component

  • Attachments are stored in the File Manager of the User or Project.
  • Each email is linked to an overlay showing the text of the email and the attachments

 Layover

  • In the same way a Portlet has been added to the User (http://[YOUR_SERVER]/intranet/users/view?user_id=[ID]) listing all mails assigned to a user.

Auto-Assignment of emails to Projects

]po[ currently supports auto-assignment to Projects. This requires that the Project Number in brackets (for example [2013_0001]) is part of the email's subject.

Using the Mail Dispatcher

Mail Dispatcher 

  • The ]po[ Mail Dispatcher shows all emails that could not be assigned automatically to a project.
  • Users with privilege "View Mails all" can preview mails before assignment
  • Assignments is done by searching for a user or project in the search box below. A drop down list will appear with objects containing the search expression. A click on the title assigns the mail to the object.
  • Mails can be assigned to more than one user/project by using check box on the bottom of the portlet.
