If you generate a Word letter in EA, you'll be used to pressing the Email button which creates a PDf file and emails it as an attachment.
We're sorry that this functionality isn't working today (Thu 18th Dec).
We've updated a mail server overnightwith a new version of the mail server software and it has broken the ability to send linked PDF files.
Unfortunately, we didn't spot the issue till this morning and we're mid way through the Weekly Email send out. If we stop the mail server and revert back to the old software (which will fix the problem straight away), your Weekly Emails won't go out and you'll have a more peaceful Christmas than you expected!
There are two ways to solve the problem:
Â
1. Send the letters via Microsoft Word / Outlook (recommended)
2. Jot down the letters that you've created today and re-edit them tomorrow and do a re-send. (not recommended)
Â
These instructions relate to Word 2013 - older versions are slightly different.
Â
Finish work on your document and save itÂ
Choose File (top left in the Word menu). We'll mimic the way Expert Agent does it - by attaching a PDF which most recipients will be able to open and read. if you send a Word document, tablet and Mac users won't necessarily be able to open it.
Â
Â
1. Choose Share
2. Choose Email
3. Choose Send as PDF
This will fire up an email in Outlook with the PDF as an attachment.
Â
You'll need to paste in the email address from EA and paste in a standard note - something like
Â
"please find attached a letter which we are posting to you tonight"
Â
Some versions of Word and Outlook don't work well together. if that's the case, you'll have to do save as in your Word document and save it as a PDF. You'll then have to fire up your email system and attach the PDF
Â
Sorry this is a nuisance. We'll solve the problem overnight.

Dashboards are a great way of searching for singular records and getting a snapshot of related activity. Apart from the other key features of any dashboard, (for more information see Personalising your Dashboards) the quicklinks form a huge part of them.
In order to set up your Quicklinks access the desired dashboard from the top menu and follow the steps below:
In this example, hover over Applicants in the Top Menu and select the 'Dashboard' option.
Tick the boxes of the Quicklinks you would like to appear on your Applicant Dashboard.
Quicklinks are broken down into 3 different sections:
MY - Used if you work purely with your own applicants.
Office - Used if you work with as a team in the office.
Group - Used if you are part of a multiple branch firm and wish to view the information across the group.
Ensure you save once you have made your selections and you will be directed back to the Dashboard.
Your chosen Quicklinks will display with the number of records relating to that record. Clicking on any of these links will direct you to a pre-filtered grid containing those records ready for you to work from. These links will also display on the homepage if you have the relevant pod setup (see below):
For more information on configuring your homepage please see the Personalising your Homepage chapter.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT STEPS ABOVE RELATE TO THE SETUP OF ALL DASHBOARDS.
Your Expert Agent homepage is designed to give you all the information you need when you first log in. Â A lot of this information falls down to your Quicklinks which you need to ensure are setup otherwise you will not be seeing the key information you need.
In order to set these up to show you need to follow the steps below:
Â
In order to setup which quicklinks display in the various are determined via the quicklinks setup in your Dashboards. See the Quicklinks on your Dashboards chapter for information on setting these up.
