Five (5) new additional fields have been added to signature metadata. These are completely configurable by you. 

Override toolbar by display name

The BrandMail shared mailbox functionality has been extended to include an override for signatures based on mailbox display name, as opposed to just email address. 

New banner type: Social media banners

Social Media banners are a unique type of BrandMail banner which allows you to leverage the user-specific email signature information. This includes a banner linking to a user's calendar page, their linked in personal page, their blog, etc. Social banners use the information stored in a user's specific signature field information (as opposed to a generic URL specified by an administrator). 

Mail template enhancements (Bundled content inserts)

  • Attachments: Content inserts (known as bundled content inserts) now allow for the inclusion of attachments (such as PDFs) 
  • Don't show content insert: When creating or editing mail templates (known as bundled content inserts), admins can choose to stop the template from popping up as a preview on the workstation by specifying "Don't Show Content Insert" in the mail template / bundled content insert settings.
  • To Address: Allows an admin to specify an email address which is automatically inserted when accessing the mail templates from the BrandMail ribbon.
