Incoming Email Settings

The options for reopening calls via incoming email have been modified in vFire Core 9.2.0. There were certain circumstances which the previous rules did not accommodate. Changes have been made to cover these scenarios.

A new IPK Group field has been added named If none then assign to IPK Group’. This is used in conjunction with each of the three On Reopen of Calls radio buttons (these are only activated once the Reopen Closed Calls checkbox is selected.

The functionality of these three options is described below.

Option Name Definition

If the call was not logged via a Call Template or if it was used by a Call Template and the template does not have an officer or group assigned then the call is assigned to the IPK Group selected in the box below.

This was previously named ‘Assign Officer/ Group on Template’. It has been renamed for clarity.
