    MacroView · Records and compliance

    Records management where people already work: in Outlook

    MacroView brings the records functions of Microsoft 365 and SharePoint to the desktop. Declare a record, add a hold or read who did what, from the right-click menu in Outlook.

    In shortSound familiar?How it worksWhat is includedQuestions

    In short

    MacroView brings the records management functions of Microsoft 365 and SharePoint into Outlook. Document and e-mail records are saved to any SharePoint location, e-mails stay intact as .msg files, and from the right-click menu users view the audit history and compliance details, add or remove holds and declare in-place records.

    Sound familiar?

    Why compliance stays on paper

    With MacroView

    Kept intact as .msg

    E-mail records stay complete, with sender, recipients and attachments, and open in Outlook.

    Who changed what?

    Holds from Outlook

    Authorised users add or remove a hold on a document straight from Outlook.

    Declaring records is a separate task

    ↻
    With MacroView

    Declare in place

    Declare a document as a record where it is, in the same menu people use every day.

    How it works

    From e-mail to record

    Save to SharePoint with metadata

    From the Microsoft 365 toolbar, to any SharePoint location.

    Let rules file the rest

    Incoming and outgoing e-mail records filed automatically by rule.

    Declare, hold, check

    Declare records, add holds and view compliance details from the right-click menu.

    Find and prove

    Search by keyword or metadata with a taxonomy term picker, and show the audit history.

    Illustrative example

    Questions about records management

    Does MacroView replace the records management of Microsoft 365?

    No. MacroView brings the records functions of Microsoft 365 and SharePoint to the desktop, so people use them from Outlook.

    In which format are e-mails kept?

    As .msg files, intact, so they open in Outlook with their attachments.

    Can users add a hold themselves?

    Users with the right permissions can add or remove holds and declare records from Outlook. Which options people see can be configured.

    Do we need M-Files for strict compliance?

    Not always. For workflows with approvals, strict audits or documents in several files at once, M-Files often fits better. We work with both and tell you honestly.
