The ‘Shared With’ feature of Apptivo allows you to share your notes with your employees. Whenever a note is shared with an employee, an email will be generated to that employee. In addition, the recipient employee can also reply to that email. It will be added as a Note in the associated record in Apptivo.
Enabling ‘Shared With’ in Master Layout
- The Shared With field is not enabled by default, we have to enable it to make use of this feature.
- Select Settings → Customize App → Master Layout in the Notes App.
- In the Master Layout, switch to Hierarchical View. Here, enable the toggle for Shared With.
- Once the toggle is enabled, save the changes.
Configuring ATAG from the Notes Activity
The ATAG feature enables you to locate the Notes easily while receiving emails. This feature is used for identification purposes. Depending on the application from which the Notes were shared, the ATAG will differ.
- In the Notes activity of Apptivo, select Settings from the App Header.
- Select Notifications → Update Notifications from the left panel of the Settings page.
- The Update Notifications page will appear.
- Select create to create a new notification.
- In the Create Notification page, add a name and description of the notification. To keep the notification active, enable the toggle.
- Also, configure the “From address” and name of the sender.
Note: Please ensure that you have configured Email Forwarding for the email address added in the From Address field. If not, the replied email will not be captured.
- In the Criteria section, determine the condition based on which the notification has to be generated. Here, a notification is to be generated if the Notes are created in the Current Day.
- Switch to the Message tab. In the Subject field, add the ATAG attribute by selecting Insert Attributes → ATAG.
- Construct a message for the notification.
- Now, configure the recipient list by clicking the Recipients tab. You can either choose an Associated Object or a static email list. As the email has been sent to the employee with whom the Notes are shared, we have selected Shared With from the Associated object. Select create.
- A new notification is created.
