Check for Uncategorized Entries
To help you build a 'Trusted' reference system, the Reference Database will alert you if you have entries that have not been assigned to a category.
The next time that you open your Reference Database, you'll receive a notice that you have uncategorized documents. If you already have categories defined, you may reclassify these entries by dragging them to the desired category. Otherwise, you may edit them and type in new categories of your choosing.
This feature is enabled by default, however, you may change this behavior in the eProductivity Preferences.
Integrate with eProductivity Mail
With the Reference Database and your eProductivity Mail file, you can easily file non-actionable reference material from your email inbox. Simply drag and drop non-actionable material from email into your Reference Database using a link on eProductivity Mail's left-hand navigator. Learn More
