If you are running a campaign where a different image is required on a daily basis but each image must link to a different web page (for example, you might show product images and wish to link to specific details for that product on your website) then you need to use a different approach - please see How do I insert a web style banner ad that alternates daily?[pg.151]

Stage 1: Image Preparation
For this scenario, you would have seven banner images - one for each day of the week. These images should be placed in a directory on your network; you must ensure that the Exclaimer Outlook Settings Connector Service is set up to log on with an account that has at least read access permissions for the specified directory.
When these images are rotated, Exclaimer Signature Manager Outlook Edition uses an index from 0 - 6, as shown below: Index File 0 Sunday 1 Monday 2 Tuesday 3 Wednesday 4 Thursday 5 Friday 6 Saturday
Images are indexed according to filename sequence, for example:
Filename Index Day of Week Banner00.jpg 0 Sunday Banner01.jpg 1 Monday Banner02.jpg 2 Tuesday Banner03.jpg 3 Wednesday Banner04.jpg 4 Thursday Banner05.jpg 5 Friday Banner06.jpg 6 Saturday
If it is important for particular images to be displayed on a given day, you should ensure that your file naming convention is one which ensures images are sequenced correctly (such as the example shown above).
Stage 2: Add a Rotating Banner Ad Field to The Required
Template
Create [pg.198] or edit [pg.202] a campaign template and insert a rotating banner ad field. When you choose to add a custom image, the folder location window is displayed, so you can specify the image location that was decided in stage 1 [pg.160]:
Here, you can choose to browse to the required location or, if the location is determined from an
Active Directory field, use the insert drop-down list to select the Active Directory field which contains the required location. Once inserted, you can select the field and view/update properties as shown below:

Define hyperlink properties for the
banner images
Set the banner chooser to day of
the week
Chosen folder for required images
USER MANUAL Signature Manager Outlook Edition P a g e | 1 6 2 Key properties are summarized below:
Property Summary
Banner chooser Use the browse button and select day of week.
Folder location Specify the directory in which required banner images have been placed. Filter If required, you can specify a wildcard filter to determine which images are
used. By default, *.* is specified, which means that all images in your specified folder will be considered.
Address Specify the full URL of the web page to be opened when recipients click a banner image in their message. For example: http://www.exclaimer.com. Hover Text Specify text to be displayed when recipients hover their cursor over a banner
image in their message. For example: Visit our website.
Alt Text Specify text to be displayed if images cannot be displayed in messages (for example, if a recipient has chosen to block images in email messages).
Stage 3: Define a Campaign Policy
1. Select the Outlook campaign policies branch in the console tree.
2. Click the new button from the toolbar to start the new Outlook policy wizard [pg.137].
3. On the general [pg.120] window, specify a meaningful name for the policy - for example 'Weekly Rotating Campaign'.

Your policy must have a valid name. A valid policy name must be unique and not blank. You should try to make your policy names as descriptive as possible because they are used to uniquely identify the policy in a number of areas. You can also use the policy description to record comments and notes about a policy (such as what it does and under what conditions it triggers). We highly recommend that you use this field to keep a record of changes to a policy over time.
4. Click next to progress with the wizard and choose a campaign template. Select the campaign template that contains the rotating banner ad (created in stage 2 [pg.161]).
5. Click next to see a preview of how the selected template will appear in email messages.
6. Click next to continue and set conditions [pg.124] under which this policy will be applied. In this case we want the campaign to be applied to all users therefore select the Outlook user is anyone option.
7. Click next to access date options.
8. We do not need to limit the policy to a specific date range, therefore click next and then finish to complete the wizard. The new policy is added to the Outlook campaign policies branch of the console tree.
9. Once you have saved changes, the policy is ready for use. It is a good idea to test the policy in the policy tester [pg.180] to ensure that it works as expected.
The above process shows how individual, linked images can be used in policy templates. However, you can also create more complex banner adverts in an external HTML editor and choose to rotate HTML files rather than images. For further information please see Multi-link HTML ads [pg.247].

How Do I Enforce Different Outlook Settings Per
Department?
In this scenario, different font settings are required for email messages sent from the HR department and from the Sales department. The HR department should send messages in Times New Roman font and the Sales department should send messages in Verdana font.
The following process shows how this would be achieved, assuming that departments within the organization are defined in Active Directory groups. If groups are not used in this way within your organization, you can achieve the same results by defining policies based upon specific Active Directory attributes [pg.167].
1. Select the Outlook mail format policies branch in the console tree.
2. Click the new button from the toolbar to start the new Outlook policy wizard [pg.137].
3. On the general [pg.120] window, specify a meaningful name for the policy - for example 'HR Mail Format'.

How Do I Create a Policy Based Upon Specific
Active Directory Attributes?
The configure attributes window [pg.127] allows you to define conditions [pg.124] and exceptions [pg.129] based upon queries that are run on Active Directory user attributes. The following example shows how to set a policy condition which uses an Active Directory attribute query. In this scenario, a policy is required to apply a policy to any Outlook users within the 'IT' department of an organization.
