You can map properties from a Microsoft® Outlook message, such as From and To, to corresponding Workplace XT e-mail class properties using the OutlookPropertyMappings.xml file. After Outlook properties are mapped to the e-mail class properties, you can assign those properties to each Outlook message you add to an object store.
Each of the Outlook properties you map has an assigned Outlook field, data type and corresponding Content Engine symbolic name. Use the following table to help you complete the mapping process because the process involves modifying the OutlookPropertyMappings.xml file and creating property templates in Enterprise Manager. The table includes default fields included in the OutlookPropertyMappings.xml file and optional fields you can add.
Outlook field | Outlook data type | Content Engine symbolic name |
---|---|---|
Default fields that are included in the OutlookPropertyMappings.xml file. | ||
PR_SENDER_NAME | string | From |
PR_DISPLAY_NAME | string | To |
PR_DISPLAY_NAME | string | CarbonCopy |
PR_CLIENT_SUBMIT_TIME | datetime | SentOn |
PR_MESSAGE_DELIVERY_TIME | datetime | ReceivedOn |
PR_SUBJECT | string | EmailSubject |
Optional fields that can be added to the OutlookPropertyMappings.xml file. | ||
PR_PRIORITY | long* | Do not use Priority as a symbolic name because Priority is currently used in the Content Engine. Use a different symbolic name. |
PR_DISPLAY_NAME | string | BlindCarbonCopy Use this symbolic name when mapping the blind carbon copy property. |
PR_BODY | string | Use any name you choose. |
PR_DEFERRED_DELIVERY_TIME | datetime | Use any name you choose. |
PR_EXPIRY_TIME | datetime | Use any name you choose. |
PR_LAST_MODIFICATION_TIME | datetime | Use any name you choose. |
PR_MESSAGE_CLASS | string | Use any name you choose. |
PR_MESSAGE_SIZE | long* | Use any name you choose. |
PR_OBJECT_TYPE | long* | Use any name you choose. |
PR_ORIGINATOR_DELIVERY_REPORT_REQUESTED | boolean | Use any name you choose. |
PR_RESPONSE_REQUESTED | boolean | Use any name you choose. |
PR_SENSITIVITY | long* | Use any name you choose. |
* The Outlook data type long corresponds to the Workplace XT data type integer when you are creating a property template and assigning a data type in Enterprise Manager.
Mapping Outlook message properties to Workplace XT e-mail class properties involve using the Enterprise Manager and modifying the OutlookPropertyMappings.xml file. You need to do the following steps:
To map properties
<property>
<tag>PR_PRIORITY</tag>
<symname>Importance</symname>
<datatype>long</datatype>
</property>
NOTE If you type an invalid property, such as not using the correct tag or data type, that property is ignored when Outlook messages are added to an object store and properties are assigned.
