Getting Started with ClearContext

Walk through the examples below for a brief introduction to a few key ClearContext features.  See our video demo for additional detail.

Inbox Views



Once setup is complete, inbox messages will be color-coded to highlight the most important messages.  You can select different inbox views from the ClearContext >Inbox Views menu, or at any time revert to standard Outlook views via the Outlook view menu.
Click on a folder and look at the FolderContext pane next to the message list.  The Attachments tab shows all files contained within messages in the folder.  Highlight multiple attachments and select Actions > Save Attachments to extract the selected files  to your hard drive.
The Contacts tab in FolderContext displays all contacts contained in the current folder.  Highlight multiple contacts, select Actions > Meeting Request to invite the selected contacts to a meeting.
Click on the Attachments button in the ClearContext toolbar.  The Attachments Explorer shows a preview of all files contained in the current folder.  Click on an attachment to see a preview. 
At the bottom of each message (2007) or via a toolbar button (2003), the MessageContext pane shows all messages in the current email thread.  Select an Inbox message from a long email thread and open MessageContext to view the whole conversation.

A Topic will be created for each folder under your inbox.  Highlight an email message in your inbox and use the Topic button or dropdown to assign topics to email.  ClearContext will automatically suggest the right folders to file the message to based on your past email history and recent project activity.  All messages in that email conversation will be assigned that Topic.

In the Inbox toolbar, click File Msg to file the current message to a Topic folder or File Thread to file all the messages in the conversation thread with a single click.
