Resolve Email Items in Communications Center

Loic LeMener

I am trying to get better at using the communications center, but I don't see how to resolve an email item. It would be helpful to have a feature that allows resolving email items, similar to the checkbox shown in the help section video.

Have the "Resolve option" for email like comments

Trying to manage communication alert icons. With comments, you have the option of clicking on ellipsis "..." of comment and change to resolve. This basically changes the comment from active to historical. AND the message icon number will go down one. This is not an option with emails. Only option is to delete them.

Hey greg rawls, thanks for your feedback! I have a few more questions for you:

Can you please clarify what you mean by 'communication alert icons'? Are these notifications for new emails or comments?
When you mention 'resolve' for emails, do you mean marking them as read or something else?
Could you explain how you envision the 'resolve' feature working for emails? Would it be similar to the 'resolve' feature for comments?

Jon Darbyshire   Thanks Jon
1: see attachment; the number indicator at top of record
2) yes.... marking as read would be better 
3) if I click on resolve or read......  the communication alert number would be reduced by changing this email to resolve or read
I would like the indicator number to only indicate when a new comment or email has been posted, that I haven't seen.

Hiya Loic LeMener, thanks for sharing with us! Following up on this:

Can you provide more details on how you envision the 'resolve email item' feature to work?
Are there specific types of email items you would like to be able to resolve?
Could you describe the current process you go through when trying to resolve an email item?
