Description

Crow Canyon Mail App enables users to access Crow Canyon Service Request application from within their Outlook application. Since Outlook is used extensively and is always open for most users, they can work with SharePoint based Service Request without having to switch to another application. Mail App works both in desktop-based Outlook and also Outlook Web Access from the browser. Users can submit new Tickets based on an email content or can specify their own text. Users can also see the Tickets that they have submitted earlier. If your organization has multiple instances of Crow Canyon Service Request application, then Mail App gives an option in UI to select the service area for submitting and viewing Tickets. Please see the bottom of this article for some images of the Mail App.
