Creating a simple rule to filter messages from a contact

So if that is case u have to follow these steps.

1. Open CreateRules from SMSRules folder in programs .

2. When it opens u will see two sections one will have all the contact names and other will have all the folders of poutlook.

3. Now u need to create a folder for best friend eg "Friends" for that click menu "Add folder" give a name in the text box and click OK.

4. Choose your "Best friend" from left side selection box. for this we have some more options(4) which

u can select from top right menu "Contacts from:"

a) Message-> Will list all the contacts who have messaged you

b) First Name-> lists all the contacts in your contact list by their first name

c)Last Name-> same as "b" but using last name

d)*CARD# -> Use this if you want any wildcard numbers to be filtered like a list of numbers which have same sequence like 988848569,98884646 u can give 9888 in there and it will choose both these numbers. also this is not limited to number u can give names also like "Best friends" name:)

OK

Next step is what u want to do

Four options

a)Move-> moves the messages from inbox to selected folder

b)Copy -> keeps a copy of message in inbox and copy it to selected folder(only unread smses)

c)Delete-> Deletes the sms from seleted contact (choose any folder name won't matter)

d)Hide -> Hides the smses from the specific contact in a private folder.(incase your "Best friend" is your girlfriend u can opt for this):p

Now select the contact by choosing it from left list and the folder from right list.

Bottom status should display the contact and folder names

then FINALLY click "Add"

the status should show rule added :cool:

Now some extra stuffs...(its getting long :eek:)

if you want the rules to be applied automatically click menu-> autorun if you want to be notified click notify

to autorun you need to do one more thing "choose which rule should be autorun" for that go to "existing" tab at the bottom

Select contact rules

choose for folder" choose the folder name in which u will be moving your friends messages"

you should be able to see a check box with the rule name" your friend name or number"

select the check box.

Thaz it for today:D

click menu and exit

and wait for a message to come and then all you friends messages will be moved to the folder you have choosed.

or if you are eager you can runrules shortcut under SMSRules folder in programs.

Notifications

From 4.4 the app gives option to manage the notification.

To change the notification behaviour you have to set it from CreateRules.

Stay at the first tab("CreateRules")

click menu and you will see all the option you can use for the app.

Click Notification and it will Show 3 different notification types:

1. Notify Hid Messages this notification type depends on custom notification, if you have opted for receiving an custom notification then only you can set/unset this option.

Use: setting this option up will custom notify you about the messages that were hid. unset it and you wont get those.

2. Windows Notification this you can set/unset if you want the default windows notification on message arrival.

3. Custom Notification Set this up if you want to be notified about the rules which have been applied.

If custom notification is set up and some sms arrived which was under delete rule, the app wont notify.

Modes

from 4.4 the app has 3 modes of run

1. Autorun - choose his option if you want to filter the smses every time they arrive, this will be done automatically

2. Scheduled run - Use this option if you want to filter all the mesages only once a day at a specific time.

USE: to use this mode you have to be on the first tab. click menu and runtype choose Scheduled. a new window will open with the option to set up the time of run. It is in "HHMM" choose the option and Click Set button this should set up the schedule. In case you want to cancel the schedule click cancel and it wont run. you can see the status of the schedule at the menu. if it has been scheduled, menu will be checked.

3. Autorun + Scheduled Run :p No points for guessing ;)
