Overview

This document describes any feature enhancements, as well as fixed and/or known issues for the Sugar Plug-in for Microsoft Outlook 2.6.0. For information about supported versions of Outlook, refer to the Plug-ins Supported Platforms.

Feature Enhancements

The following feature enhancements are included in this release of the Sugar Plug-in for Microsoft Outlook:

  • Configurations : The following configurations have been added:
    • Auto-archive emails for known contacts and leads : You may now enable auto-archiving for all incoming and outgoing emails if the email is received from a contact or lead or if the email has a Sugar lead or contact in its recipient list (i.e. To:, CC:).
    • Create account when creating contact : Select whether the plug-in should automatically create an account when a synced Outlook contact has an unrecognized account for its company name.
    • Sync all Outlook categories : Select whether to add all of an email's Outlook categories to Sugar as tags or only sync the Sugar category as a tag on the email record.
    • Mail tab : A "Mail" tab has been added to the configuration window. All email archiving and email attachment options have been moved to this tab.
  • Data Privacy category : If a data erasure in Sugar includes the Last Name and Email Address fields, the plug-in will now apply a "Data Privacy" category to the Outlook contact record in addition to permanently disabling the sync for the corresponding Outlook contact.
  • Installation logger : Debug logging capability has been added to the installation package.
  • Relating many records to a new Sugar record : You may now choose to relate many records at once via the "Relate" button when creating a new Sugar record (e.g., a new contact) from Outlook.
  • Selecting teams when archiving emails : You may now optionally select the email record's teams when archiving an email from Outlook.
