Scenario

You wish to configure both Server-Side and Client-Side signatures in one subscription. Is this possible?

Resolution

Yes, it is possible to configure both Server-Side and Client-Side signatures in one subscription.

  • Apply to email from all devices including mobiles: This is also referred to as Server-Side signatures; it means that the signatures are applied after the email has been sent - you cannot view your email signature while composing the email messages. Signatures are applied to all email messages via Exclaimer's Cloud service, irrespective of which browser/device/email client is used.
  • See before you send (Client-side): This is also referred to as Client-Side signatures; it means that you can view your email signature while composing the email messages in Outlook. The signatures are synchronized to the users' email client.

All clients & environments

Which rules take priority?

Client-Side will take priority. If a Client-Side signature is applied, a Server-Side signature will not be applied.

When sending an email without a Client-Side signature (for example, on a mobile device) then a Server-Side signature will be applied.
What is the difference between the way Client-Side and Server-Side apply reply/forward signatures?

Client-Side has options to enable signatures for new email and reply/forward emails.

Server-Side uses advanced rules.
