In addition to small bug fixes and
updates, this release includes the ability
for users to send and receive text
messages from contacts.
Summary:
This new feature will work with
any
contact who has a cell phone number in
their record.
To send a text message from the folder
contacts page, simply select the
appropriate contact and click the "Text"
menu item. (Text messages can only be sent
to one
contact at a time. Group texting is
not supported.)
From the texting window, you can type a
message and insert relevant
folder data, like keywords, etc.
By initiating a text message with a
contact, you will receive an inbox alert
when that contact responds.
Note: you can disable
notifications by unsubscribing to any
text message thread. See below for
details.
Once a text thread is initiated, you can
view and reply to all contacts by
selecting Tools > Text Messaging (this
menu also displays an unread message
count).
From this window, you can reply to
existing threads, and also unsubscribe if you
know longer want notifications for messages
from a particular contact.
Note: because this window is not
linked to a particular folder, data
insertion is limited to contact and user
information. If you want to include folder
and file information, use the texting
window available in the folder
view.
Update on contact editing:
In order to maintain data
integrity, Ramquest contacts can no longer
be modified from within Archive. If
changes are needed, simply update the
information in Ramquest and then select
"Import RQ Agents" to sync the new data to
Archive.
