  • 1. how do I get emails to show up in opportunities history
    I see them in the contact itself but it does not show up in opp history. I dont even see it as an option to add them manually. So now I have to look at opp first, then read the name, manually look up the contact to view email history? Seems lame.

  • 3. Linking contacts in Outlook to Accounts in BCM
    I can link contacts in Outlook to Accounts in BCM but not vice versa. In order to link the contacts in Outlook to the Accounts in BCM I just go to the bottom left of the card and click Contacts, expand the BCM folder, select Accounts, then the account I want and click OK. This creates a named link on the card where it says Contacts and I can just double click it to open the BCM card I want. However, I can't do something similar from BCM to Outlook. Basically I just want to set it up so I can go between the 2 easily. I've tried looking thru the BCM guide and can't find the solution. Any ideas? -- BPB

Emails not auto linking in BCM 2003

Postby Q2hhZA » Sun, 23 Sep 2007 06:28:01 GMT

Emails used to auto link to Business Contacts but won't anymore unless the 
email is generated from the Business Contact record.

I tried reinstalling BCM but that didn't help.

Any ideas why or how to fix?  Thanks!

After further review, it appears that only emails from people *outside* my 
company are linking.  Emails from those in my company are not.??

On a possibly related note, my company recently changed the underscore 
between everyone's first and last name to a dot in our email addresses.  I 
noticed the email field in Business Contact record automatically updated to 
the dot...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1.BCM does not link emails where display name is not email address

I noticed that on one of my accounts emails to one of the conttacts were not 
being picked up by BCM. I tried relinking - did not work - though I could 
manually link fine. The only difference I could notice was that this 
contact's email address was in the format [Jane Doe] XXXX@XXXXX.COM  (not 
sure if I have got the brackets exactly right there but Outlook was splitting 
the address into a display name (Jane Doe) and an email address). When I 
changed this back to just the email address, no display name, and relinked, 
it worked fine.

2.Sent Items folder not available for Auto-Linking in BCM

In Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager, when I bring up the Manage
E-mail Auto-linking dialog, the "Sent Items" folder for my archive file does
not appear. All other folders in the archive file are present for selection,
as are all the folders from my "Personal Folders", including "Sent Items".

How am I supposed to link my archived Sent Items?

3.Auto Linking Works Sporadically - BCM 2003

Auto linking appears to work only sporadically.  Emails that I send or 
receive are not always linked to the corresponding Business Contact.?

The email addresses do match (my company uses a Global address book which 
seems to be connected to the email address field of the Business Contact 
somehow...) and the correct folders are checked in the Manage E-mail Auto 
Linking box.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
