Campus Communicator FAQ

Campus Communicator FAQ

Q: Why do attachments get numbers added to their name when they get sent out?
A: Campus Communicator saves all attachments on a separate server so they can be added to the daily digest later in the day. Outlook does not require names to be unique on attached files so Campus Communicator automatically assigns an auto-incremented number to each attachment in order to ensure that each file name is unique.

Q: Why are there question marks in the subject line of our message when those weren't visible when it was sent?
A: The most common cause of this is because the text was copied and pasted from another application. Just like attachments, the text of each email is saved elsewhere and certain applications, such as Microsoft Word, add extra characters into the text that aren't visible when pasting directly into the Outlook Web Application (OWA). To avoid this, type your message directly into OWA or first paste any text into Notepad, then copy/paste it from Notepad into OWA. Notepad will strip any of those unnecessary characters out.
