You can select elements of the message you want to archive at Elements to archive in the upper section (as long as Prohibit element selection is not activated in the configuration). The option Email is the email message itself, the other listed elements are the attachments.

The index fields visible in the lower section depend on the configuration. Every field is listed as picklist, clicking the field allows you to select already known values. Some fields may already be filled in.

For some fields, a checkbox is displayed on the right side. If it is activated, the values of the picklist will be filtered using the already set fields. Of course, you can write your own value into the field.

Required fields are bold and marked with an asterisk.

One click on Store stores the message in the JobRouter archive. Clicking Cancel cancels the archiving.

A notification will be displayed directly in Microsoft Outlook, informing you that the email is archived:

In the Cleanup settings of the configuration the deletion of attachments during archiving can be defined. To simplify the access to remote files, JobMail Connect offers the possibility to open attachments directly via Microsoft Outlook. To do so, click on the button Open attachments for messages with deleted attachments. The files are opened with the default program provided by the operation system.
