                Copy the office on mail
                Correspondence from a file is practice business — a copy here puts it in front of everyone, not only in your Sent Items. Leave the address empty to turn it off.
                MY SIGNATURES
                Two, the way you already run them in Outlook. Mail sent from a file does not pick up an Outlook signature — Outlook adds that as you type, and the console hands the message straight to Microsoft — so whatever is here is what goes out. HTML. Pictures have to sit at a web address and be linked; a picture pasted in as data rides along on every single email.

                Stages

                A rule belongs to a stage and a seat — what must be true before an umpire file can be scheduled is not what must be true where we act for the carrier. Pick the seat, then open a stage.
                Add a stage
                Joins the end of the board. A rename never orphans a file.

                Note types

                The headers you file notes under
                Add a type
                A type already used on a note is retired rather than removed, so an old note keeps saying what it said.

                Document identifiers

                What a document is, beyond what kind of thing it is
                Why these exist
                Four estimates can sit on one file — the carrier's, each appraiser's, and one from a prior loss kept for reference. All four are filed as "Estimate" and nothing else tells them apart. These are what you pick from beside a document. Rename one and every document already wearing it follows.
                Add an identifier
                The line underneath is optional — it shows under the name when somebody is choosing, which is where it does the most good. The kind decides which heading it appears under in the picker, and is what searching and the stage rules still work in. Untick "this claim" for a prior loss or anything filed only for reference — those stop counting as an estimate on the file.

                Canned notes

                The notes you write over and over
                Add a canned note
                The name is what you pick from; the words are what gets written into the note. The type and the minutes are still chosen each time, because the same sentence belongs under different headings on different files — and because the time has to be the real time.

                Umpire attributes

                What we ask an umpire before putting his name forward
                Add an attribute
                Each one becomes a yes / no / not-asked question on every umpire's card, and a filter on the candidate list. Write it as something a person can answer plainly — "Allows O&P on roofs", not "roofing policy". Not asked is not no: an umpire nobody has put the question to stays on every list until somebody does.
