Advanced Options - How it works (Programming Required)
SSW LookOut! for Microsoft Outlook adds a Client ID field to your Outlook view.
This allows you to clearly see which emails are from contacts in your corporate
database, which emails are from within your own corporate Intranet, and which emails
are from people not currently in your database (potential new clients which you
must add to your database!).
Figure: SSW LookOut! lets you clearly see which emails are and are not from
contacts in your corporate database
LookOut! uses the email address to search and match people from your database. It
is designed to work with any popular database, but currently has only been tested
extensively with Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL Server. If you are interested
to try out on other database(s),
let us know
!
Figure: Your Outlook items can be sorted or grouped with the Client ID
LookOut! operates in two modes, Online and Offline mode.
-
Whenever LookOut! is certain that a connection to your corporate database can be
made, it will switch to Online mode. A probe test is run to check before the mode
switches.
-
Similarly, whenever there's an error in trying to connect to your
database, LookOut! will switch to Offline mode.
While in Offline mode, LookOut! will not try to scan any new incoming emails for
their client ID. Contrary to what the name may seem to indicate, LookOut! does not
keep an open connection to your database, all connections are closed as soon as
LookOut! is done with them. LookOut!'s Online and Offline modes are also not related
to Outlook's Online and Offline modes. There is an option for LookOut! to automatically
try to go Online when it starts.
