Options tab

The settings on the Options tab enable you to control:

The Options tab refers to settings by their Outlook client names. However, each setting controls the appearance of the Outlook client, Entourage client, and the Basic and Premium OWA clients, except where noted.

Feature settings

The Feature settings control whether menu options and toolbar buttons are available on the Outlook, Entourage, and OWA clients.

The Enabled check box controls whether a feature is displayed as a menu option:

  • In the Outlook client, the menu options are provided on the Tools > Enterprise Vault menu.

  • In Mac OS X, the menu options are provided on the Symantec Enterprise Vault client menu on the menu bar.

  • In OWA clients, the menu options are provided on the shortcut menu that appears when you right-click an item, except for Search Vaults and Archive Explorer, where a button is provided on the navigation pane.

If you select the Enabled check box, the On Toolbar check box becomes available. The On Toolbar check box controls whether a toolbar button is displayed. Note that some features are not available in certain clients. For example, the Search Vault and Archive Explorer features are not available in OWA clients.

Table: Exchange desktop policy Options tab Feature settings lists the Feature settings. For a more detailed description of these settings, see the online help for the Administration Console Options tab.

To set different values for OWA, go to the Advanced tab, select the OWA category and change the values of the Search Vaults and Archive Explorer settings to the required values. If you subsequently change the Search Vault or Archive Explorer settings on the Options tab, you are asked if you want to apply these revised settings to the OWA clients as well as to Outlook. If you click No, the values for the OWA clients on the Advanced tab are retained.

The Cancel Operation setting is not currently supported in Microsoft Entourage for archive actions.

Outlook Behavior settings

The Outlook Behavior settings on the Options tab control the shortcut deletion behavior of the Outlook and OWA clients. (The settings have no effect in Microsoft Entourage.) Table: Exchange desktop policy Options tab Outlook Behavior settings describes the Outlook Behavior settings.

Shortcut deletion

Controls what happens when the user deletes a shortcut from Outlook and OWA clients. For Outlook clients this setting is ignored and the shortcut is deleted unless the site setting 'Users can delete items from their archives' is selected.

  • Shortcut only. The shortcut is deleted. If the shift key is held down while deleting, the item is deleted without being placed in Deleted Items.

  • Both deleted. The user is informed that both the shortcut and the archived item will be deleted. If the user chooses to continue, both the shortcut and the corresponding archived item are deleted.

  • Ask user. Ask the user whether to delete the original item and the shortcut, or just the shortcut.
