Email 8/5/2009
Option was added to the message tab to "Include Email Addresses From Others" under the Suggest names while completing TO,CC, BCC

NOTES: When using the Suggest names option the system looks in your address book emails to find contacts to suggest as you type. A new feature was added to also include those email addresses from people that have sent you email. The system will look in the FROM field of other emails to help suggest emails also - this checkbox option will turn that feature on/off
  
Email 8/5/2009
Rule: Database Import - Use FROM email when email not specified in message body

NOTES: In most cases when you do get a lead from an email it will include the email address of the contact. If the email address is not provided then it will use the FROM field to find the contact. This is useful when using the ACTIVE field and someone wants to OPT out. If you setup a rule that looks for a keyword like "OPTOUT" or "REMOVE" in the subject line then the rule can change the ACTIVE field of a contact to unchecked (NOT ACTIVE) - in the past you would have had to have the email of the contact in the body of the message in order to find that contact - this enhancement removes that requirement so that the rule can search for the contact using the FROM field which should be the contacts email address.

Email 7/6/2009
Automatic lookups of email addresses from other emails

NOTES: When the user types in the TO field the system will check for names and emails in the address book as well as checking other emails and looking in the FROM field. This way a contact does not have to be in your address book to be able to reply back to them and allow the system to find their email address for you.

Corrected wording of popup message when exiting the program before sending an email - used the word "existing" instead of "exiting"

Email 6/8/2009
Changed the way we check emails when they are being left on the server.

NOTES: Some users are leaving large numbers of emails on the smpt server and was causing a major delay when receiving emails. While this is not a good practice it should also not be a limitation. We have changed the way we check emails soa that old emails are skipped during the checking process. While this sounds like it sould be an easy process the other issue is that we still need to deal with emails that need to be removed because they are in the TRASH of Advantage Xi or they are over a specific number of days. In order to use this feature you MUST have the 'Quick Check" option turned ON (Checked) in Tools > Options

Email 4/6/2009
Enhanced: Email Retrieval for users that leave messages on the server

NOTES: In the past - all emails that were left on the server were scanned before bringing them into the software to determine if they needed to be downloaded, deleted or skipped. You can go into Tools > Options and CHECK the option to use QUICK CHECK and the system will track downloaded emails differently to quickly download new emails - if you have several email on the server currently, you will need to let the system go through the emails once to allow the tracking to be started but then it will download only new emails on the second round of checking.

NOTES: We added 2 fields in the options section of the Outlook Sync screen that keeps track of the last time you sync'd with outlook - the system now checks to see if any data has changed after the dates before trying to see if there were changes in each field - this speeds up the system dramatically.
  
SCREENS 3/10/2008
LARGE FONTS - Corrected a problem when users are using LARGE FONTS instead of normal.

NOTES: There has been an issue for some time when a user tries to use LARGE FONTS (125%) instead of Normal Fonts. With Monitor Screens getting larger and larger and resolutions getting better - many manufacturers have screens set to 1400x12800 or Higher - the end result is that the icons and text are very small - Many users change to Large fonts instead of reducing the screen resolution down to 1200x800 or less which will make everything look larger. By just changing the fonts it messes with the system matrix and throws some screens out of wack… this has been changed for Advantage Xi
  
Today Screen 3/10/2008
Added 'Drop Days' checkbox to the Today Screen Options

NOTES: Some events need to be done on a specific date or they are no longer useful - using the drop days field in an event, the system can auto-complete the event if it is not done within the specified number of days - this will assign a completed date of 1/1/1900 so that you know it was dropped.
  
Word Mail Merge 3/10/2008
Added option to allow Advantage Xi to Email merge instead of using Microsoft Outlook

NOTES: If you use Microsoft Word to do mail merges - there might be a time when you want that letter to be emailed instead of printed. In the options tab of an event the user can choose to send the output to EMAIL instead of PRINTER. In the past this would force the system to use OUTLOOK to email the document - you can now email from Advantage Xi.
  
Word Processor 3/10/2008
Corrected Microsoft Word Mail Merge

NOTES: There is a question on some version of Microsoft Word that asks if you want to allow the SQL command to perform the merge - if this option displays was preventing the Advantage Xi from doing a mail merge with Microsoft Word - this has now been fixed.
  
Calendar 2/4/2008

NOTES: This allows users to pre-defined PDF files to be printed by a Calendar Event. THIS DOES NOT ALLOW FOR MERGING TO THE PDF DOCUMENT JUST PRINTING THE DOCUMENT ITSELF.
  
Calendar 2/4/2008
The we have added [Referred By] to the Party Member dropdown.
