Drag and Drop from Outlook

  • Drag & drop support (from Outlook & file locations) has been significantly improved. In most cases, it is now possible to drag multiple files or a single Outlook message into Impact, without needing to first save the attachment or the message itself*
  • Single or multiple vector-based files can be dragged from the desktop (or any file location) onto an Impact canvas and the Import form will be displayed for each file.
  • Multiple files (of any format) can be dragged from the desktop (or any file location) onto the Project Documents or Customer Documents window, and the Add Documents window will be displayed.
  • Single Outlook messages (and individual files contained in an Outlook message) can be dragged onto the Project Documents window or Customer Documents window and the Add Documents window will be displayed.
  • Drag & drop support is also available via the Projects Browser (and by extension, the stand-alone Impact Viewer). Observing the same rules as above, files & messages can be added to the Project Documents and Customer Documents windows.
  • When adding a zipped file to the document managements system, Impact will offer the choice of adding the zipped file itself or unzipping & attaching the contents of the zip archive.

NOTE: *Currently, an Outlook message cannot be dragged & dropped onto the Project Documents window for an unsaved project.
