Creating Tasks from emails

When you select Create Task, the Workspace Selector form opens so that you can connect the task to a Workspace.

To create a task:

1. From the Post To ClientSpace page, in Links, click Create Task.

The Select Workspace form appears in the right pane.

2. For Workspace:
If the FROM address is the same as the ClientSpace email address, it is not used to determine the Workspace. Instead, the first TO address is used to determine the Workspace.
If the FROM address is DIFFERENT from the ClientSpace email address, the Workspace defaults to the Workspace of the email sender (the FROM address).
The email address is compared to all employee email addresses (both Personal and Work email) in the system and tries to match the email. If a match is found, the Workspace associated with that employee is used. If multiple instances of the employee email (Personal and Work) exist, the most recently changed instance is used. If the From email is not recognized, then you can select a Workspace of your choice.
3. Click Create.

The New Task form opens. Fields are populated based on your Create Task module configuration.

4. Complete the form.

Email fields that are available for configuration include Date Sent, Subject, Body, To (Recipient), and From (Sender).

5. Click Save.

You are returned to the Post To ClientSpace page.

6. When ready, click Close.

The Select Workspace form closes.
