Building a template in EasyLife 365 Mail no longer means leaving it half-finished to go and create something it depends on. This release lets you create a policy or an approval workflow from inside the template you are working on.
What's new?
Create a policy or an approval workflow without leaving the template
The Policies and Approvals tabs of a template now have a Create button in the page header. Selecting it suspends the template with everything you have typed so far and opens a new policy or approval workflow. When you save it, you land back on the template with your edits still there and the new item already selected.
This works for shared mailbox, room mailbox, equipment mailbox and distribution list templates. The Approvals tab is available once approvals are enabled for your tenant under Settings → Approvals.
The reason a user gives when requesting an approval is now limited to 2,000 characters, with a clear message when the text is too long instead of keystrokes being quietly dropped.
How these updates will affect you
- Administrators finish a template in one pass, without losing unsaved work to a detour
- A newly created policy or approval workflow is assigned to the template automatically
- Users writing a long approval request see exactly why their text is not accepted
Setting up approval workflows for Mail templates is now documented in full: Approvals.
