Activation on edit pages
If the
System requirements are met and the
Add-in is installed, then Office Integration can be implemented in absolutely any Intrexx application. It's activated on the
Office Integration tab in the
properties dialog of the chosen edit page of the application. This edit page will be loaded later when you open a Microsoft Office application via the Intrexx file menu.
Office Integration can only be activated if a
File selection element is integrated into the edit page.
Office Integration in Microsoft Office
The functions and menus of the Intrexx Office Integration are the same in the MS Office products Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, and will be described in the following for MS Word.
Opening and saving documents
In Microsoft Word you can reach Office Integration from the main menu
Intrexx Office Integration.
With the menu item
Save as in Intrexx, you can now save a MS Word document of your choice.
If you select the menu item, you will first be asked to log in to the portal. Log in with the desired
User, the
Domain, and the
Password. With the
Save login settings setting, the information will be saved for the next login.
All Office integrations that have been activated in the portal will be listed here. Select the desired integration from the list and then click
Next.
In this dialog, the
Search field allows you to search for existing documents that have been entered into this integration. All existing documents will be listed in the table under the field. The table columns will be constructed in such a way that corresponds to the settings made in the module Applications on the
Office Integration tab in the properties dialog of the edit page. In order to create a new data record, please click on
Create new data record.
A title of your choice can be entered here. The name of the document will be automatically entered as the same as the name of the current document in Word. Note that the edit page that you use here is the exact edit page that you have created in the
Applications module. Click
Save after all entries are complete. The file will now be saved to your Intrexx portal as well. If you define a view table on the main page of your application, you can see the list of saved documents and open them in MS Word here as well. Opening in Office will be enabled with the following column settings for the table: the setting
Attachment in the area
Handling of images in emails should be activated.
MS Word will automatically recognize the reference in this table, and will correctly assign the file if you select the menu item
Save in Intrexx from MS Word.
The document can now be opened in MS Word with the menu item
Open document from Intrexx Office Integration.
First, select the desired integration here.
All documents that have been entered to this integration will be listed here and can be selected for editing.
The menu item
Save in Intrexx is only different to the menu item
Save in Intrexx because existing files can be saved in another data record, even from another integration. The original data record will be retained in this case.
