In the Advanced Options for target dialog box, click OK. 6. In the Options dialog box, click OK. Configuring the Automatic Update of Documents If you have configured folder monitoring, or if you plan to do so, consider also configuring the automatic update of documents. By default, the folder monitoring feature does not re-export items to AppXtender, even if these items have been modified. The folder monitoring feature keeps a history of exported items for this purpose. Each time you start Outlook, Outlook for AppXtender checks the contents of monitored folders against the history. If the received time Configuring Outlook for AppXtender 15

16 or creation time of the item is older than the received time or creation time of the last exported item in the history, the item is not exported. If you want the documents in AppXtender that had been exported from Outlook to be automatically updated when the original Outlook item is modified, you can configure the folder monitoring feature to re-export items after they have been modified. To configure the automatic update of documents: 1. From the Outlook Tools menu, select Options. The Options dialog box appears. Select the ApplicationXtender tab. 2. Select the target that you want to configure. 3. Click Advanced. The Advanced Options for target dialog box appears. Figure 5 Advanced Options for Target Dialog Box 4.

18 Mapping Fields for a Folder In order to submit items from Outlook for AppXtender, you must map Outlook fields to AppXtender application index fields. This configuration allows Outlook to provide values for AppXtender index fields when items are exported from Outlook to AppXtender, which in turn allows AppXtender to store the item as an AppXtender document. This configuration applies to individual Outlook folders, such as the Inbox. You can perform this configuration on all Outlook folders except the following: The Tasks folder or any of its subfolders The Notes folder or any of its subfolders The Journal folder or any of its subfolders Any folder that has a backslash (\) in its name or has a backslash in any of its parent folder s names. Any folder that begins with m_ or has a parent folder that begins with m_. To map Outlook fields to AppXtender application fields: 1. In Outlook, navigate to the folder that you want to configure. 2. From the File menu, select Folder and then Properties For FolderName (where FolderName is the name of the current folder).

Optional Folder Configurations The following sections describe optional folder configurations: Configuring Folder Monitoring Disabling Folder Monitoring Configuring the Format of Exported Items Modifying a Field Mapping Removing a Field Mapping Configuring Folder Monitoring You can configure Outlook for AppXtender to monitor a folder for incoming items and automatically export those items to AppXtender. Note: You can use the Outlook Rules Wizard to automatically move items into a particular folder based on item attributes (such as words in the subject line of a message) as soon as you receive them. For instructions, refer to the Microsoft Outlook documentation. When Outlook for AppXtender detects an item in the configured folder, it is automatically exported (copied or moved, as specified) to AppXtender. If AppXtender is not already open when this happens, it opens automatically. If the AppXtender Login dialog box appears, you must enter valid account information and click Login. The folder monitoring feature keeps a history of exported items so that it does not re-export items in the folder that have already been exported to AppXtender. If you want the folder monitoring feature to re-export items after they have been modified, you can configure the feature to do so. For instructions, see Configuring the Automatic Update of Documents. Items exported from Outlook using the monitoring function will not be re-exported into AppXtender unless they have been modified and the Last Modification Time option is selected in the options for the target.
