Automatically add an Outlook Category when assigning an email to a matter

You can identify emails that have been assigned to Smokeball and which still require action with the Categories feature in Outlook. Emails assigned to a matter will have an orange bookmark icon above the time. An orange Smokeball tag will also appear in the body panel of the email. 

You can also customize the color of the Smokeball tag by selecting Tags > Categorize and then selecting All Categories.

Choose the color you prefer from the dropdown menu in the Color Categories window.

Toggle the Smokeball tag off

If you do not wish to use this feature, you can toggle it off by navigating to Smokeball Settings > Outlook and Notifications and clicking off the checkmark next to Apply category when assigning emails. Re-select the checkmark to resume using the tag.
