Kcenter Office Add-In
Save documents dynamically into KCenter from Word, Excel, Powerpoint and OutlookKnowledgeCenter identified the need for a user to manage all documents dynamically from their desktop as a pre-requisite to a Document Management product. As a result the Kcenter Microsoft Office Add-In has been a key component of the product since its initial launch.
Although Kcenter provides a very comprehensive mechanism for storing and retrieving documents and information within the base system it was appreciated during the product design that users are not looking for a product of this type to increase their workload but instead to make the process more efficient. To that end the MS Office Add–In was developed to provide the ability for a user to access all of the benefits of the Kcenter system without having to leave the primary product that they were working in (Word, Excel, Outlook etc).
This is an optional module that allows a user to open and save documents and files directly from within MS Office applications as opposed to saving them to (for example) the C drive and then manually importing them into Kcenter.
When installed the plug – in adds “Open from KCenter” and “Save to KCenter” buttons to the Office application toolbar.
When selected the “Open from KCenter” feature allows the user to browse the Kcenter document library in the same way that they would presently browse their normal file system.
The “Save to KCenter” feature allows the user to file direct into the DMS.
