The system suggests possible links automatically based on the sender's email address. You can edit the “Filter” item to extend to search also to include results beyond the suggested ones. The “Recents” button, which is accessible from the “create and link” function, allows you to access the modules most recently visited.

If you can’t find a match with an existing element, you can create a new record (for example a new account) by means of the “Create” button.

Once the connection has been made, it will be highlighted with the symbol , which will be visible both in the email list view and in the email detail with an indication of the linked record.
