Help! I can't see or select the Clovis folder!

The Folders tab

Under the Folders tab, you can change the behaviour of your Clovis folders.
The ‘Folders’ window shows you a list of Clovis folders that are present on your system. You can adjust various settings with the checkboxes below this window:

Auto-resize column widths – tick this box if you want to automatically resize column width to the width of the content in that column.

Confirm record delete – tick this box if you want to be asked for confirmation every time you delete data in a Clovis folder.

Mark all records as read on exit – tick this box to mark all the data in this folder as ‘read’ when you switch to another folder.

Hide expired records – if this box is ticked, expired records will be hidden. If this option is not selected, expired data will remain visible but it will show up as lighter grey text.

Delete expired records – if this box is ticked, expired records will be deleted.

The ‘CSV File Output’ area lets you change the location where the .csv file of the folder is kept, whether the .csv file will be dynamically updated, and whether commas and line breaks are stripped.

The ‘After processing and deleting incoming Clovis mail (all schemas)’ part of the window has settings that apply to all folders.

Remove content from deleted mail – tick this checkbox if you want the content stripped from the Clovis mail after it has been processed.

Remove mail from the Deleted Items folder – tick this checkbox if you don’t want processed Clovis mails to be kept in Deleted Items.

The User tab

The ‘Identity’ area shows your Clovis registration information: your username, e-mail address and organisation.

Suspend Mails button: use this button to suspend incoming Clovis mails while you are on holiday.

re-Register button: generates another registration mail with your details. Only use this button when requested to do so by Clovis support.

The ‘User File Location’ area shows where your Clovis files are stored.
Below that is a setting to override the default format of Clovis e-mails.

The Sending tab
This screen lists the folders you have sender licences for.

The Advanced tab
This tab is mainly used for support-related functions.

The checkboxes under ‘Message Log’ let you specify the level of detail in the Clovis logfile.

View Log File button: lets you view the Clovis logfile.

View Error File button: lets you view the Clovis error file, if this file has been created.

Clear Error File button: lets you clear the contents of the error file.

Send All: sends the Clovis logfile and the error file to Clovis support.

Clear All: clears the contents of both the logfile and the error file.

Check entire Inbox for Clovis Mails button – checks the entire inbox for Clovis mails. On an inbox with many items (500+), this may take several minutes.

The ‘Thread Management’ area is only used for troubleshooting purposes.
