Attaching emails via drag and drop
Hi
Is it possible to attach an email from outlook as an attachment using drag and drop via outlook? Or do we need to always save down the email as a .msg file and then upload that as an attachment
Thanks

I think it's not possible to attach an email from outlook using drag and drop.
You have to save and then attach.

Needs a manual step to save .msg before drag and drop :)

I tried in 7.1.8. I wasn't able to attach the email using drag and drop feature without saving the email to local system.
Can you suggest what are the steps to achieve the same?

In 7.1.8, its not working.... its working until 7.1.6. I heard that Pega is not supporting drag and drop from outlook as they are trying to get away from ActiveX controls.

from 7.1.8, It seems Pega is trying to get away from Activex controls and drag and drop from outlook is no longer supported.
If you want to use drag and drop from outlook, change your IE compatibility settings to display in compatibility view... you need to test the application thoroughly as it might impact other areas.

Drag & drop ActiveX control in Pega 7.1.8 has been finalised to be used only for IE 9. So, if you are on any other version of IE (or any other browser), drag & drop ActiveX is not loaded but an HTML5 control is used which does not support drag/drop directly from outlook.

Hi All,
How to achieve this functionality in pega 7.1.8 (Drag and drop a mail from outlook).
Anyone knows how to activate active x controls in 7.1.8.
Thanks,

I think versions lesser than IE11 will display Activex controls. In IE11, you might need to enable compatibility settings to enable drag n drop from outlook. It looks like Pega is trying to get away from ActiveX Controls in the newer versions.
