Working with Outlook policies

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

• 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

• At certain times of the year, email signatures may need to include campaign advertising

Using Exclaimer Signature Manager Outlook Edition, you create Outlook policies to control the circumstances under which templates are applied. In short, an Outlook 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. Within Signature Manager Outlook Edition, there are four distinct Outlook policy types:

• Outlook signature policies

• Outlook campaign policies

• Outlook disclaimer policies

• Outlook mail format policies

This section contains topics for working with Outlook policies, including:
