If the client already exists in coreplus, the system will match up the message to the client's file. However, if the new message looks a little like the one below, you might need to expand out the message details, or the 'raw data' of the message to see who the message belongs to. To expand the message details, click on arrow next to the message status.

To manually assign the message to a client, click into the Client Name field, this will drop down your client list to choose from or you can type in the name.

💡 If the message is for a new client, you will need to create a client file before assigning the message

💡 Update Details will update and allow you to continue working on the current message, Update and Back will update the message and take you back to the Secure Message Inbox

By default, the attached file name will come into your secure inbox with a string of numbers and letters. You can rename the attachment to your preferred naming convention 

1. Click on the pencil icon to edit the file name.

2. Rename the file and click the tick button to apply the change.

If the attachment was sent as a PDF, clicking the preview icon will allow you to view the attachment without having to save the file first. 

In Actions, click on the eye icon to preview the document. 

To download the attachment to your computer, click on the download button. This option is available for any file type.

A secure message can be marked as completed or archived to clear out your inbox. Messages will remain assigned to a client's file and you can keyword search your secure message inbox when you need. You can assign as much or as little detail to your secure messages as you like. 

To finalise a secure message, click Mark As Completed in the top right-hand corner.
