2. Background Information

2.1. Purpose & Fundamentals

Purpose of Document Management

One of the primary functions of Worldox document management software is to make documents easy to find by many different people who may think of information in different ways. 

This goal is achieved by:

  1. saving documents consistently and
  2. providing many different methods (using indexing) for finding files

Worldox guides users to save documents with relevant information to make searching intuitive and efficient.

Fundamentals of Worldox

  • In order to save and search for documents using Worldox, you must have Worldox open
  • Worldox manages collections of documents, organized into cabinets (sometimes called "Profile Groups")
  • Each document in a cabinet has a profile associated with it
  • The fields in a document's profile are dependent on which cabinet the document resides in
  • Each document has an assigned Doc ID (this is just one part of a document's profile, but it's a really important part)
  • Each profile within a cabinet has a number of fields
  • Most fields are tied to a code lookup table
  • Each code within a lookup table has a description associated with it

3. Outlook Emails in Worldox

3.1. Introduction to Outlook Emails in Worldox

Some firms wish to have Worldox be their document repository for all documents including .msg files (Outlook Email Messages).  Email messages, like all files will be saved with their native file extension, so in this case, as .msg files.

If you wish to file outgoing emails to Worldox, you will need to contact Trumpet Support to enable this level of integration.  Filing Email messages from your Inbox or Sent Items folders will be enabled by default.

Many users prefer not to file emails to Worldox because they are automatically captured by their CRM (e.g. Junxure) and some do both.  There are advantages and disadvantages to either approach.  I will outline those for you here:

Worldox

Advantages

The major advantage to storing emails in the Worldox Document Repository is that emails stored there are text searchable.  In addition, you can search across clients for emails.  Worldox also stores the email with the Attachment in tact if you need to have this for compliance purposes.

Disadvantage

The disadvantage of storing emails in the Worldox Document Repository is that you must fill in a Profile Card to save the emails.  This differs than using your CRM in that in most instances, the CRM will automatically store the emails under the contact record for whom the email is addressed.

CRM

Advantages

Oftentimes, the CRM will automatically file emails under the contact record for whom the email is addressed.  This means that you don't have the time consuming task of profiling the email. 

Disadvantage

It may be difficult or impossible to search for all emails for a given date range if you want to look for multiple clients' emails.   Attachments and emails are often filed in separate places.  In addition, email messages are not typically text searchable (search for the text within the email message) when stored in a CRM.


Trumpet is relatively agnostic when it comes to your decision on where to file email messages.  We prefer you understand the implications of your decision, and will work with you accordingly.

3.2. File Outgoing Emails

  • After sending an e-mail from your e-mail application, the "Worldox – Sent Message" window will appear

    • Move message to WORLDOX – this operation will move your outgoing e-mail from your sent box to Worldox and delete it from your sent box
    • Add the address to my ignore list  – this operation will not save the e-mail message in Worldox at all  for this message, and won't prompt you again for messages sent to this email address in the future

3.3. Save Incoming Emails

3.4. Search for Email Messages using the Email address

You may wish to search for an email by the email address it was sent from or the email address it was sent to.  While this is as simple as filling out a Search Card, there are an additional fields you will need to add to the search card.

To add the Sent From field to your Search Card:

3.5. Email Tab
