By controlling and managing your company s email signatures centrally, you can ensure that the company portrays a uniform corporate email look and that emails include the necessary legal disclaimers. This avoids users from having to configure signatures themselves, which can lead to an inconsistent corporate email image and a possible legal loophole. Also, by centrally managing your signatures, it is a simple process to update a signature with a short marketing message regarding an upcoming special or event. This allows you to make full use of emails as marketing tools. 7

The New email signature wizard will start up: 1. Click Next in the Welcome screen. 2. Enter the email signature text. You can enter the text in two different formats: HTML and RTF/plain text. The text in the HTML tab will be added to HTML messages, and the text in the RTF/plain text tab will be added to rich text and plain text messages. You can apply formatting in the RTF/plain text tab, but this will only apply to rich text messages. The formatting will be removed for plain text messages. To copy text from the HTML tab to the RTF/Plain tab (or vice versa), click on the button Copy to... 25

3 CREATING EMAIL SIGNATURES! Note If you don t enter any text in the HTML tab, there will be no signature added to HTML messages. If you don t enter any text in the RTF/plain text tab, there will be no signature added to rich and plain text emails. Because some email clients can only read plain text, you must always enter a disclaimer text in the RTF/plain text tab, even if you only send out HTML messages. However, you only need to enter your text once, since you can copy and paste the text from one tab to another by clicking on the Copy to.. button. From the toolbar, you can select font, size, color, bold, italic, and underlined. You can add bulleted lists, numbered lists, indent and align text. You can insert merge fields by clicking on the Insert Field icon and selecting the relevant field. For more information on the available fields, see the Fields paragraph in this chapter. 26

3 CREATING EMAIL SIGNATURES If you are using fields in your disclaimer or signature, Policy Patrol includes a preview option so that you can check whether the merge fields will be replaced correctly. To see the preview, click on the Preview icon in the toolbar. A dialog will pop up asking you to select a user. Select a user and click OK. You will now see the disclaimer/signature with Active Directory merge fields replaced by the Active Directory information for the user. Message fields will be replaced with test data. In case a merge field is still showing in the preview, this means that the field has not been entered correctly. To go back to the normal view, click on the Preview icon again. Tip If you are not sure whether a field will exist in every instance, you can specify a field prefix that will only be entered if the field is replaced. For instance, if you wish to include a mobile phone number for the user, but not every user has one, you could 27

3 CREATING EMAIL SIGNATURES enter the prefix in between the first square brackets of the field as follows: %[Prefix]Field name[]%. For instance: %[Mobile:]Mobile phone[]%. This will mean that the text Mobile: will only be added if the user has a mobile phone number in the user s Active Directory properties. To avoid an empty line when a field does not exist you must enter \n in the field prefix %[]% (this stands for a line break and since it is entered in the prefix it will only be applied if there is a field value). For instance if you want the user name to appear, followed by the title field (if it exists), you can enter the following: %[]User full name[]%%[\n]title[]%. If you want to combine it with a field prefix, you must enter this as follows: %[]User full name[]%%[\ntitle:]title[]%... It is also possible to specify a default value in case a field does not exist. For instance, if a user does not have a mobile phone number, you could enter Not applicable. To do this, you must enter the default value in between the last square brackets of the field as follows: %[]Field name[default value]%. For example: %[]Mobile phone[not applicable]%. Note that you cannot enter fields as a prefix or default value. You can import texts from.txt and.html documents by clicking on the Import button in the toolbar. Similarly, you can export the text to a.txt or.html file by clicking the Export button in the toolbar. You can insert gif and jpeg pictures by clicking on the Insert image button. In Image file, enter the path to the picture or browse to it. Note that this picture must be located on the local drive. Instead of browsing to or entering a path to a file on the local drive, you can also enter the URL to an image on a website. In Alt, enter the text that you wish to appear as a tool tip. If you want a border to be applied to the image, set a border width. 28

3 CREATING EMAIL SIGNATURES! Note You can only embed images (i.e. insert an image from the local drive) for Microsoft Outlook signatures. If you are using Microsoft Outlook Web Access, Google Apps or Office 365 signatures, you must enter the URL to the image in the Image file/link box. To add a link, click on the Insert link button. In URL: enter the URL to link to. Enter the text to be displayed in Title and enter the description in Description. You can insert a table by clicking on the Insert table icon in the toolbar. You can select the number of columns and rows and the border width. Tip: Even if you do not intend to show any borders, you can add the Table with a border first, and then later change the border to 0 in the HTML Code (click on HTML Source tab to see the HTML code); For instance if you configured the table to have a border width of 1, you will see <TABLE style="border-collapse: collapse" border=1 in the HTML code. When you have finished designing your text and images in the table, change 1 to 0: <TABLE style="border-collapse: collapse" border=0. When you click back on the HTML tab, the table border will be gone. In the HTML tab you can directly edit the HTML source by clicking on HTML source at the bottom of the dialog, for instance to add tables or bullets. 29

3 CREATING EMAIL SIGNATURES When you are ready designing your email signature, click Next. 3. Now you can select the Default font to be used for messages. You can select font type, font size, color, bold, italics and underlined. A preview of the selected font is shown. If you do not want to apply a default font, uncheck the box Apply default font for messages. When ready, click Next. (Note that default font selection is only applicable when using Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Web Access and Office 365)! Note If you select the Signature template for new messages (see Chapter 4), the font selection will be applied to new messages. If you select the Signature template for replies/forwards, the font selection will be applied to replies and forwards. 4. Enter the signature name and a description.

3 CREATING EMAIL SIGNATURES 3.2 User Fields The user fields are taken from the user s properties in Active Directory, Google Apps or Office 365. Below is a list of the user fields that are included by default. You can add more (or remove) fields by going to Signatures > Settings > Directory fields. More information on how to do this can be found below. Default field Company name Fax number Telephone number Title Email Address User first name User full name User last name Company street Company P.O. Box Company city Company state Company zip code Company country Mobile phone Website URL Description Company s name User s fax number User s telephone number User s title User s email address User s first name User s full name User s last name Company s street address Company P.O. Box Company s city Company s state Company s zip code Company s country User s mobile phone Company website URL In Directory fields, the codes are listed for Active Directory. If you are using Google Apps or Office 365, these codes are automatically translated to the correct codes for Google Apps and Office 365. See the paragraph Office 365 and Google Apps directory fields for more information. 3.2.1 Force upper case or lower case If you wish certain fields to be displayed in upper case or lower case, you can add a ^ or a ~ character to a field prefix, where ^ converts to UPPER CASE and ~ converts to lower case. For example if you want the user name to appear in upper case, you can enter ^ in the prefix as follows: %[^]User first name[]%. This will convert the value of the user name to uppercase, i.e. USER NAME. If you wish to add the user name in lower case, you can enter ~ in the field prefix as follows: %[~]User first name[]%. This will convert the value of this field to lower case, i.e. user name. 3.2.2 Adding more Directory fields Directory fields can be configured from Signatures > Settings > Directory Fields. Policy Patrol already includes a number of merge fields taken from Active Directory. You can add more fields by entering the Display name (this is the name that will be displayed in Policy Patrol) and the Directory code (this is the actual directory code note that these codes are case sensitive). Click OK. You will now see the new field(s) when clicking on the Insert field button in the toolbar of the Signature template. 31

Chapter 6 Server Administration P olicy Patrol includes some server options & settings that can be configured from the Policy Patrol server node(s), including user security, system configuration and system parameters. 6.1 Connection In this section you can connect to the server configuration. Select the server you want to connect to in the left column, and click on Connect. By selecting the option Auto connect to this server when opening Policy Patrol Administration, the Policy Patrol Administration Console will automatically connect to this server. It is possible to add several configurations to the same Administration console. To add more servers go to the Policy Patrol node and click on Add Server. Enter the Server name and IP address. The server will now appear in the left column. 6.2 User security In User security you can give selected users access to the Policy Patrol Administration console and grant them certain permissions within the Administrations console. Policy Patrol user security is implemented at three levels; user access rights, component rights and folder rights. 64

6 SERVER ADMINISTRATION 6.2.1 User access rights When a user connects to a Policy Patrol server, they will be asked for log on credentials. The user can log on with the current credentials or specify another user name and password. Policy Patrol will then check these credentials to see if the user is permitted to access the Policy Patrol Administration console. By default only the members of the Administrator group are allowed to connect to Policy Patrol installations. To define which users have access rights, follow the next steps: 1. Select <server name>, expand Security and click on User security. 2. To add a user with access rights to Policy Patrol, click on Add. Select the users you wish to add and click OK. To remove a user from the list, select the user and click Remove. 3. To give the user Administrator rights, select the user and tick the check box Administrator rights. The user icon will now include a small lock to indicate that it has administrative rights. Policy Patrol Administrators have full access to all components and folders and cannot be denied any permissions. You must make at least one user an Administrator so that this user will always be able to access all options in Policy Patrol.! Note If you wish to grant a user from another domain access rights, you can right-click in the Security list and select Add other. This will allow you to specify a user by entering the user name in DOMAIN\Username format. 65

6 SERVER ADMINISTRATION 6.2.2 Component access rights Now that you have set the access rights to the Administration console, you can specify which Policy Patrol components (i.e. tree nodes) each user has access to. By default, each user has access to all components. To change the access rights for a certain component, follow the next steps: 1. Right-click the component (for instance Signatures) and choose Component properties 2. Go to the Security tab. By default the (Everyone) group has full access to the component. To change permissions, select the group and change the Allow/Deny permissions. The following rights can be applied: Right View Create Edit Delete Folder owner Description View items Create new items Edit existing items Delete items Change folder permissions 66

6 SERVER ADMINISTRATION If you only wish certain users to have rights to the component, click on Add and select the user(s) with the permissions. Select Allow or Deny for the relevant rights. Then select Everyone and click Deny for all rights. If you wish all users to have access to the component apart from a couple of exceptions, click on Add and select the users to be denied access. Select the user(s) and tick the Deny check boxes. A Folder owner has the right to change the component permissions for the component. Therefore, if you wish to deny permissions for a user, you must also select Deny for the Folder owner right. Remember that each component needs to have at least one Folder owner and that Administrators cannot be denied any permissions. When you have finished editing permissions, click OK. 6.3 Licensing To enter your serial number in Policy Patrol, select Security > Licenses from the menu. Click Add. Now enter your serial number. If you have received your serial number via email, you can copy it and click on the Paste button. The number will automatically be pasted into the dialog. Click OK to add the license. To find out how many user licenses you are currently using, go to the Users node. In the top right corner it will list the number of users that are licensed (i.e. configured to use a signature) as follows: x out of x licenses used. For example, if you have configured signatures for 15 users and you have a license for 25 users, it would read: 15 out of 25 licenses used. 6.4 System configuration System configuration options are found in <server name> > Advanced > System configuration. In the System Notifications tab you can specify the options for system notifications. In the From: field, enter the sender of the email. In the To:, Cc: and Bcc: fields, enter the recipients for the system notifications. For internal recipients you can also click on and select the recipient from the user list. The recipient addresses entered here will also be taken as the Administrator address(es) when sending notification messages. The Modified tab displays when and who last updated the component. 67

6 SERVER ADMINISTRATION 6.5 System Parameters System parameters are found in <server name> > Advanced > System parameters. Policy Patrol system parameters are similar to registry keys and must not be changed unless you are asked to do so by Policy Patrol technical support staff. 68
