FAQs
Can I delete a communication?
Only draft communications can be deleted. Once a message is sent it cannot be deleted.
I wish to copy a colleague but (they) are not in the cc list? Why?

How do I respond to a query received. Will it be directed appropriately?
Open the task and click 'Carry out task - Reply' under the links and actions. The 'SRS manager 'will direct the response to the sender, accordingly. For further information on tasks click Tasks.
