Initial
scan On installation, CALO Express immediately starts scanning files on all your connected drives and in the default Outlook folders for your default email inbox, calendar, and contacts tp ready them for searching. For many people, a smaller scanned area, makes search results easier to scan. Depending on where you keep the bulk of your data, you may want to change the scanned area to simply your desktop and my documents. You will need to add any shared drives you want to search. Scanning of your computer takes hours to a day or longer. CALO searches are available during this time, but the search results are incomplete until the initial scan is finished. |
Recommended Setup for Windows File
Explorer
To take full advantage of all of CALO Express's functionalities, we
recommend the following setup for Windows Explorer:
In Windows Explorer, under View, "Status Bar" should be
checked. This will allow you to see summaries of documents and
emails in the status bar.
In Windows Explorer, under Tools, choose "Folder Options". Under
Tasks, make sure that "Show common tasks in folders" is selected, and
not "Use Windows classic folders". This will allow you to access CALO
acitons in the left side panel. These actions are also available in the
right-click window for CALO search results.
