There are various ways in which emails can be created and saved in Document Manager. A reference number can be automatically inserted in an email if the relevant setting is applied when Configuring Document Manager for use.
It is possible to initially create the email within Microsoft Outlook and then save it in Document Manager. In this instance, you need to decide whether you want to insert a reference number before sending the email.
Emails can be linked to existing emails previously sent to a client or the email may be completely new and not associated with a previous email.
