Client:

OLI will search your existing AyaNova clients to see if the email address From: matches. If it does find a match, it will automatically have that client pre-selected for you.

 

You can of course select any other client.

 

Or check out the Search feature to find the client which will help save you time.

This is another reason why you may want to include the email message header, as it may contain information to help you search to find the correct client to assign this to.
