Add Links and Attachments to Outgoing E-mails

The Cherwell Outlook Add-In provides several options when sending (replying to, forwarding, or sending new) e-mail from Outlook. The Cherwell group in the ribbon (Message tab) allows Users to insert links to Business Object Records, insert Attachments, and select additional recipients.

The available options are:

1. Insert [Business Object Record (example: Incident 101323)]: Inserts a link to open the Business Object Record in the CSM Desktop Client, Portal, or Browser Client. Choose any (or all) of the following options in the drop-down:
