Place a check mark beside “Remember my settings” and click on Apply.

Please Note:

If you are using Microsoft Outlook Exchange, you will need to turn on Connect to exchange temporarily with cached exchanged mode disabled by placing a check mark beside it. Next, you need to enter your Exchange Server Name in the box.



4. After successfully saving your settings, next click on Preference.



5. From the drop down menu for Repeat Synchronization, you can specify how often you would like the synchronization to occur. You can choose between 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minute intervals.



6. You can also specify the direction for the synchronization.

a. Outlook CURA

Select the items you would like to transfer from Outlook to CURA.

b. CURA Outlook

Select the items you would like to transfer from CURA to Outlook.

It is recommended that you turn on the preference to “Only Copy Existing Contacts/Candidates” in order to keep your CURA database clean and efficient. This will only synchronize items received or sent to a contact or a candidate that exists in CURA. You may also specify how you would like the CURA Outlook Synch Tool to handle conflicts. A conflict is an item that has been changed in both CURA and/or Outlook. You may choose to leave the item unresolved, replace the item in CURA or replace the item in Outlook. Click on Apply to save your preferences.

Please Note:

If you are using a Microsoft Outlook Exchange Sever, it is always advisable to inform your administrator as this action can overwhelm your Exchange Server with information and may affect your Exchange Server’s processes.

Outlook Synchronization Tool. Click on Main to go to the synchronization screen. By default, the CURA Outlook Synchronization Tool will synchronize all email items from a week before to the current date. You may specify a different date range by using the calendar icons beside it. Click on the Start button to begin the synchronization process. If you are synchronizing with Microsoft Exchange Outlook, please refer to the next page and follow the additional instructions. Otherwise, you can skip to step 13 of this manual.

Please Note:

Your Microsoft Outlook must be open at all time for the synchronization to work. The CURA Synchronization Tool must also remain open and running on your machine for the synchronization to occur automatically.



8. If you are synchronizing with Microsoft Exchange Outlook, clicking on the start button will

open a new window where you will need to manually connect to your Exchange Server.



9. Click on the Connection Tab at the top of the window. Then place a check mark beside

the option Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP and click on Exchange Proxy Settings.



10. Enter your Exchange URL and click on OK.



11. You will be taken back to the Connection Tab. Click on Apply at the bottom of the

window.

the mailbox name.

clicking on File from the top menu and then selecting Hide.
