Entering values on the DoD email records form

Refer to this section if you are declaring email formal records. The information here is applicable whether you declare email records directly from Records Activator for Microsoft Outlook or from the Records Client. The table following the sample form, depicted in the figure, describes each attribute on the form. Administrators can customize email optional mappings, if necessary.

Figure 11.10. Default settings on a form for email formal records

Emails declared from the Records Client must first be exported from Microsoft Outlook and then imported into a DCTM repository.

Next is displayed at the bottom of the form only when you select more than one item to be declared as Individual records. You do not have to click Next. You can click Finish to apply the same metadata to the remaining records. You only click Next if you want each individual record to have different metadata when filing.

All mandatory fields require entries to proceed with filing. Any field that is incorrectly addressed prevents the form from being processed. Unaccepted entries are clearly described in red text at the bottom of the form when processing is prevented. Make sure to provide entries for all the mandatory fields and that all the entries are valid.
