Advanced Email Filing – Mapping an Outlook Folder to a KRIS File Reference
In Smart Mail Organiser (SMO), a more advanced method of filing is by mapping your Outlook folder to a KRIS file reference. After the mapping is done, emails subsequently dragged to this mapped folder will be filed into KRIS automatically.
This is especially useful if you organise your emails into Outlook folders based on a topic/matter, and emails within the folder are always saved to a specific KRIS file reference (folder). Some common use-cases are:
Account managers | Organises their emails by customers, and files them to a KRIS folder about that customer. |
Project managers | Organises their emails by projects, and files them to a KRIS folder about that project. |

- Navigate to the KRIS tab on your Outlook toolbar, and click Map Folder.
- In Manage Folder window, click Add New.
- Choose an Outlook folder that you want to map, then click OK.
- On Profile Details pop-up, select a corresponding KRIS file reference using […].
