PowerPoint Add-in 6.1.x

PowerPoint Add-in enables users to upload new files and edit existing OpenKM files.

When a user uploads new files, they browse the OpenKM tree view to select where to upload the files.

The OpenKM PowerPoint Add-in detects if the document opened by a user is an OpenKM file and enables or disables some toolbar options.

Caution

Office Add-ins are compatible with versions 2000 through 2019.

 After installing the Outlook add-in, a new menu item “OpenKM” will appear in Outlook.

Note

Users of OpenKM version 6.3.8 should use the “Webservices 1.0” option in the OpenKM version configuration.

When you set your configuration values, a folder called OpenKM is created in your user My Documents folder. In this OpenKM folder, a configuration file called openkm.xml and another file called document.xml are created, which the OpenKM Add-in uses to store document editing information. You should not edit or delete these files.

Click on the  Add new document button. A folder tree view will be shown. You must select the folder where you want to upload the file.

Click on the Send button, and then the document will be uploaded to OpenKM and a notification message will be shown.

Editing an OpenKM document

Click on the  document edit button. A folder navigator will appear. You must navigate through folders and select a document you want to edit.

When you have an OpenKM document open, the  Upload modified document (check-in) and  Cancel document edit toolbar options will be enabled.

• To upload a modified document, use the Upload modified document (check-in) toolbar button.
• To cancel document editing, use the  Cancel document edit toolbar button.

Danger

After editing, your local document copy will be deleted to prevent user errors.
