The applications of Clovis are based around smart folders. A Clovis e-mail automatically files into a smart folder, that then displays the content of the e-mail in a table. Applications or smart folders are the business rules or schema that people use to categorize messages for specific business interaction. A folder for prices will have different types of data and be displayed differently to a folder for news alerts.

Applications can be open, which is useful where a number of unrelated institutions want to each use the same business rules and are communicating with the same clients or each other on the same subject. In this case Clovis senders would subscribe to Shared Folders and any institution can send gain a licence to send an e-mail with those rules and that file into those Shared Folders. The receiver will find that information from multiple different senders will get filed and co-mingled into the same folder. A user of Clovis may choose to create a new application and define it as a Shared Folder for all to use.

Alternatively applications can be unique to one organisation and its partners and they may not want unauthorised third parties to co-mingle their content into the same smart folders. This may be useful for a small team that wants to restrict use to a closed group. In this situation they would define and create their own proprietary and branded folders. E-mails sent to a proprietary folder will file on the desktop of the receiver into the proprietary folder and no third-party e-mails will ever file into that folder and co-mingle without a licence granted by the owner of that proprietary folder.

We offer a variety of Shared Folders which anyone can receive with the Clovis plug-in. Users with a senders' licence can send Clovis mails via these applications or create their own. If you would like to set up your own folder please contact Clovis Support and the support team will be happy to help you.
