Advanced Workflow Call Java (with API calls) Copies template to create collections Create email alias groups and attach to collections Email user that workflow is done.
E-mail Integration Not going to train users to use the subject/first line TAGS We needed an easier way to provide for e-mail integration Discussed with Ann Bernath of NASA, JPL Electronic Library Service Implemented alternate e-mail integrations as follows:
E-mail Integration Created group in Docushare Linked Group to Collection Provided E-mail alias on Group User now sends e-mail to groupalias@ds.esfox.com and this e-mail is put into the collection linked to the Docushare group
E-mail Integration **created these groups (13) on our template and modified template copy to also copy these groups EG: 07-7715internal@ds.esfox.com puts a copy of the e-mail in the collection in 07-7715 Correspondence Internal
