Mail Archiver Policies
When the Mail Archiver branch is selected in the Exclaimer console tree, you can use the policies tab for quick access to existing policies and options for completing key tasks relating to policies. Existing policies are listed in the top pane and settings for the currently selected policy are available in the lower pane:
It is important to note that policies are processed in the order that they are listed here. For example, if you decide to define policies to archive emails for each organizational department to separate stores (one archive store per department) but wish to archive emails for company managers to a separate store, it would be important to process the 'Managers' policy before any departmental policies.
You can use move up / move down or move to top / move to bottom options to change the sequence of this list, and use next policy options for greater control over processing sequence (next policy options allow you to have email messages stored in more than one archive store if required). Double-click any policy to access settings and information.
Available options from the policies tab are summarized in the following sections:
The policy list
All existing policies are listed in the main content area of the policies tab; these are the same policies, in the same sequence, that you will see listed in the console tree:
It does not matter if you access policies from the console tree or from the policy list - use whichever method is most convenient for the task in hand.
The policies toolbar
When the policies tab is displayed, the policies toolbar contains the following options:
|
Toolbar Option |
Summary |
|
New |
Launch the new archiving policy wizard and create a new policy. |
|
Delete |
Use this option to remove the currently selected policy. Select a policy from the list and use this option to delete it - the policy is removed from the list but is only permanently deleted when changes are saved. |
|
Clone |
If you need to create a policy which is similar to an existing policy, use this option to clone (duplicate) the existing policy and then edit the duplicate version as required (this can be much quicker than creating a new policy from first principles). |
|
Use these options to reorganize the policy list and determine the order in which policies are applied. Select a policy and click move up or move down as required. |
|
|
Use these options to quickly move the selected policy to the very top or very bottom of the list. If there are a significant number of policies in the list, this can be much quicker than using move up/move down options. |
|
Changes are retained if you move to other tabs within the content pane. When you are satisfied that all tabs have been updated correctly, click the save button to save changes across all tabs. Alternatively, use the cancel button to abandon all changes. |
