Software Enhancements
Ability to switch off email filing for internal email addresses
In conjunction with the CCH Email Filing plug-in performance improvement provided within 2021.3 Service Pack, an additional enhancement has been added within this release for Practices experiencing a performance hit around Email Filing of internal staff emails. This manifested as MS Outlook performing slowly or in cases 'freezing' when selecting internally (exchange) emails; whereas, the selection of external emails performed as expected. This was a result of the plug-in needing to retrieve the senders' email address from the exchange.
By default, the key <add key="DisableExchangeEmailAddressRetrieval" value="false"/> is set to false, which means that there is no change to existing behaviour with regards to filing staff emails.
For Practices who would like to disable the retrieval of the internal emails from the Exchange, the value within the key is required to the changed to equal true. The IEF.Addin.dll.config file is found within the CCH Prosystem > CCH Email Filing folder.
Once the value has been set to true, save the .config file per device and close and re-open all instances of MS Outlook on the related devices for the changes to take effect.
Note: The expected behaviour while this config is enabled is that on the selection of an email sent within the Exchange, the CCH Email Filing Panel will not display the sender's email address as the Matched Email address value; instead, it will state 'not available'. Please advise staff of this in advance to avoid any confusion. In order to file an internal email, user's can either drag and drop the email on the File email details region, or open the email and click File in CCH, where it will not preselect the Employee Library nor will it select a contact, these will need to be selected manually.

Previously, the licence count was being affected if the employee had ANY Document Management task permissions AND had the Disabled Timesheet option selected.
The following rules now apply:

- The System Employee records are EXCLUDED from the Document Management licence count, these cannot be used to login to CCH Central or the CCH Email Filing Plugin.
- Employees that have a Security Group that is ticked as Superuser (via File > Maintenance > Security > Security Group Maintenance) are included in the Document Management licence count.
- Employees that have any Security Group that has at least 1 Document Management Task Permission ticked are included in the Document Management licence count.
- Each Employee is only counted once towards the Document Management licence count where they meet the above criteria, therefore an employee with either a Superuser Security group and any Document Management related security group, or multiple Document Management related security groups are only counted once.
