Working with signature policies

Exclaimer Signature Manager Exchange Edition allows you to define any number of templates which can include signatures, disclaimers, branding and email formatting. However, 'one size' rarely fits all - for example, an organization with locations around the country may need a standard company signature for all messages but in addition to this:

• Each office location may require its own email layout, signature style and branding

• Each department within the organization may require supplementary disclaimers or sign-off messages

• Certain people within a department may require additional signature information

• At weekends, certain departments may need to apply alternative signature information

Using Exclaimer Signature Manager Exchange Edition, you can create policies to control the circumstances under which templates are used. In short, a policy can be thought of as a set of rules or conditions that must be met for a template to be applied to email messages.  

Policies can be as simple or as complex as required. For example, a plain text signature for all outgoing messages might be sufficient for one organization, whereas others may have more complex requirements, incorporating heavily formatted templates and a series of connected rules created with a policy chain.
