Getting Started

The OnePlaceMail sandbox solution provides email columns and an example library with associated a content type (including the email columns).

note

The OnePlace Solutions suite of products work with your existing SharePoint sites, libraries, lists and configuration and security of your SharePoin/Office 365 environment.  

 

The email columns provided make it easy to simply add these columns to your existing content type/s. Alternatively, you can use the document library (with predefined views) and content type provided by the sandbox solution.

Using the email columns provided in sandbox solution is recommend as it saves you time creating the columns manually, has all the correct names (without the need to defined a custom column mapping table for different column names) and has set an attribute on the email column to not be available on the Edit item form.
