Our company uses gsuite, and the standard gmail default layout has the tabs for Primary, Promotions, etc. It can be changed (I perfer to) but some keep the default layout.
Our mailing tool with email editor etc is external, and so has a different domain. It gets flagged as Promotions. This is an issue for all those with the default layout as they have to keep looking through Promotions for internal news.
How does an admin / IT department change where a sepcific sender's emails are categorised in these tabs in google's business suite for all users?
Things we've looked at:
I asked our IT department, and they have not found an easy setting or way to control where domains / senders are categorised.
We added the IP ranges our mailing tool sends from, however this only stops the emails being marked as Spam / suspicious. Good to have, but not a solution to tabs.
There is plenty of ways to control it for your personal inbox, and move it manually or set up rules etc as an end user. However we can't expect everytone to do this, we need a way of the admin being able to make the change and roll it out to everyone in the business.
For a seperate issue regarding rolling out email signatures to all users automatically in their inbox settings, there was a solution but required using their API and delving in code rather than an admin setting. If there's a way to somehow do it with that we're happy to explore.
Apparently this is easy to do in other ecosystems such as Microsoft, but we are yet to find an easy way to do this in Google's system. Any ideas?

I am sending data from my users and companies to segment.io and from there to june.so. In june.so, users and companies have an image, but they seem to be auto assigned for each user/company. I want to change those default images and set a different one for each user or company.
I am going through the documentation and found no reference to this feature. Is this something impossible right now with the current features of segment.io and june.so?
Much like you, I could find no mention of this in the documentation. I would guess that maybe you could set the image using a trait for a user or a group, but it's simply not documented.
The Segment docs suggest that for any issues about the June destination you can contact June support. There is an email address linked on this page for support, I recommend you ask them. And if you find out, come back and answer this question yourself!
I am trying to create a Mail-In database for a new workflow application,
internal and external mail to arrive into a view which can be accessed by any member of the team, assigned reassigned, etc etc.
Attempt 1
I started with a blank canvas created a memo form, view, frame with preview etc, embedded another team calendar in the frame etc no problem until I started to try to implement basic functionality like forward and reply - with history. Forwarding my memo/mail with the history results in a copy of what becomes the ugly header in the new form. I needed it to be formatted like it is in a reply or forward of a Notes email ie like this.
Many hours later I could not figure out how the above has been achieved in Notes.
Attempt 2
Use the standard Notes 11 mail template and using the Notes message/memo form, add my bespoke view and frameset with preview etc. Nearly works, I get the neat history on Forward, however, on previewing the mail in my frameset the preview is pushed outside of my frame covering half of the other frames, it is unuseable. It seems like there is one form on top of another, ie this is apparent when opening the mail, adding a green background to the form is only visible on Edit. Again after hours and hours of searching through code and subforms, I cannot find the cause of it. I have established though if I open my client in basic mode, ie. nlnotes then it works perfectly.
So several questions all related, am I going about it the right way. I would like to use the mail template as a lot of what I need is built in, but I need to view that database in basic mode whilst in a standard eclipse notes client, ie stop it trying to open whatever it is trying to open in the eclipse version.
Or is there a better way, ie to generate the neat From: To: history in Forwarded and Replied to emails.
I will also want any replies to be from the group email address rather then the individual user, I haven't got to that yet so I am not sure if it is a problem.
I have seen the Open NTF Team Mail project, but that is 10 years out of date, so I felt there would be more advantage in trying to use the existing mail template.
Hope that makes sense.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I suggest to create a new mail-in database and give it the right mail-template. Sometimes an application gets a hick-up and the application can't implement the template correctly. Or because of your previous tries there are design parts which shouldn't be there.
Is this the first time you create a mail-in database? Are all template elements signed correctly? Did you check the ACL, too?
I am trying to set up dynamics for a call centre that just wants to do cas management. How do I turn off these things off so there is no evidence of them for a user of the system?
A good place to start would be to edit the SiteMap.
There is a project on codeplex which might be helpful, otherwise you can find good guides dotted around the place:
Editing the SiteMap
Editing the SiteMap 2
With this you could hide Sales & Marketing, which would be a good start. You may also want to look at amending permissions for Leads/Opportunities which can be done by editing security roles. This will help nosey/inquisitive users from creating records if they find links elsewhere.
I presume that you are referring to the subsections of the native CRM navigation structure which shows Workplace, Sales, Marketing, Service and Settings.
Visibility of these areas can be driven in two different ways. You may choose to employ both methods.
Firstly record-type visibility is governed by a user's permissions. Remove a users read access to Invoices for example and it will cease to appear as a navigable option in their UI. Similarly the sub-areas that I previously mentioned will cease to appear if a user has no access to any of the record types that it contains.
consequently it may be possible to achieve some of your aims by giving users the least possible permissions required to do their job (though you should be doing this anyway really) by granting the correct ouot-of-the-box roles or cloning and customising one of those roles. The problem is that the Sales section , for example, contains record types that your users will need to see, e.g. contacts. you won't be able to revoke access to contacts so you'll likely need technique #2 as well:
The CRM sitemap can be customized to contain whatever you want and can even contain new areas. One feature available is to alter or create rules that show/hide areas based on record permissions. I'd recommend downloading the Visual SiteMap Editor and read this part of the CRM SDK
I have my SharePoint server set to send e-mails from a dedicated e-mail box. However, I have a workflow that sends an e-mail out to a particular group, and I want replies from that group to go instead to a different e-mail box.
I know that BCC is a hidden field in a workflow that can be changed; I don't see anything for reply-to. So I'm not sure that there's an easy way to do it. What options do I have? I know there's a tool on CodePlex that does a lot with e-mail activities, but I think that might be overkill.
I appreciate any suggestions, advice, etc. Thanks very much!
Basically, you can't specify a reply-to email address using SharePoint Designer out of the box. Since it is a workflow, you can create a Custom Workflow action that would allow you to do anything you want (including send an email with a reply-to address). This is a pretty involved process and will require C# code.
We are researching the various options that exist in our environment to create an Employee Directory. We have a SharePoint portal, AD and recently moved from Lotus Notes to Exchange. Our current employee search is a custom Notes DB that has since been retired.
Since moving to SharePoint an year ago, we've used a custom list using SharePoint Profiles that are updated from AD. But the simple list interface isn't very user friendly and is very slow. Sone of the requirements include type-ahead, pictures, and details of skills/certifications and other demographic information etc. We are considering building an ASP.NET or SilverLight application that can consume the information in the SharePoint list. With the introduction of Outlook and the Global Address List, we are now wondering if it might be easier to build something within Outlook.
Has anybody traveled a similar path and what would you advice us to do?
Microsoft has a huge set of offerings for Collaboration and Social Computing in Sharepoint.
See this document, pages 8 and 9 for information about features related to an employee directory, including details of skills/certifications and other demographic information.
A la carte availability of individual features (such as People Profiles and People Search) and pricing may be an issue, but you may want to look into buying something rather than building it (if you can get the pieces you want for a price you can afford).
Sharepoint can connect with Outlook to keep the lists synchronized if you want to use outlook. And there are definitely a lot of different ways to change the way the lists are presented in the Sharepoint portal to make them more user-friendly. Having those details on the portal will certainly be a boon when combined with the powerful search and indexing features in SharePoint so you can identify employees based on their profile details easily.
We use the people search for this pretty effectively. We populate data in AD, then connect profile properties to AD attributes. That's only if you have MOSS, though. If you're working with WSS, you'll have to build something more custom.
One gotcha, though, is that the People Search out of the box doesn't easily do partial searches (i.e. searching for "john" doesn't match "johnson"). That's a big downer in my mind. You can use Ramon Scott's approach of a Content Editor Webpart with a form and some Javascript to work around it, and you can also get there via the advanced search box (albeit indirectly), but it sure would be nice if it were easy to make the default search box do partial name searches.
I recently just discoverd a somewhat easy visual basic script that draws information from the active directory where you can specify which OU to draw from where it displays all user information in a simple .HTM page. it includes a search bar, recognizes patterns (address) (company telephone number) etc... If you would like i can post it for you. you only need to fill in a few sections (display name for directory, OU, OU display, and tags) and you can always change the way things look too.
This should be taken care of by using the My Site feature that's available within SharePoint. You will then be able to search SharePoint users by skills, certifications, projects, and educational qualification.
