Outlook - Creating Inbox Rules for TeamDynamix Emails

Description:

The emails from the TeamDynamix system are set up to attach the name of whomever entered the update as the "from" name.  This can cause emails to be glossed over or missed at times, since they are not from a generic "Help Desk" name. 

One advisable solution is to set up inbox rules to set a category tag and/or move these emails to a designated folder of your inbox.
