Application Integration

The Application Integration site preferences determine behaviors for optional Application Integration features.

General Settings

Add Options

The Use file name as title option specifies whether to use the Microsoft® Office document's file name as the default title when adding a new document. Select Yes to use the file name as the title.

Office Settings

The Office settings determine the Add and Open settings and behavior within Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Open Options

The Show Save As dialog box option specifies whether to display an Office application's Save As dialog box when checking out or copying a document. Click Yes to display the Save As dialog box. This dialog box also appears if you are adding Office attachments from Outlook.

NOTE The Save As dialog box appears even if this is set to No if a document was previously opened and saved on the local workstation, and a user reopens the same document. The user can save the file to a different directory or rename the file.

File tracking

The file tracking options determine the default location for users' files when the optional File Tracker application is used.

The Document directory preference specifies the path on a user's system in which documents should be placed when opening or checking out a document. The following options are available:

Delete Local File Options

The Delete Local File options determine whether a local copy is deleted from the local file system after adding or checking in a document from an Office application. Deleting the file is a good idea when the file has multiple authors. Each author is then forced to check out and download the latest version of the file before modifying it again. The default setting for each option is No. If you select Yes, the local copy of a document that was successfully added or checked in is deleted. The following options are available:

Outlook Options

The file types listed under Insert Item: Outlook file types determine the types of files displayed on the Select Item page when users select a document they want to insert into Outlook. For example, if you want users to insert only Word documents into Outlook, make sure all document types except the application/msword option are removed.

You can also use the Outlook file types option to add file types that do not appear in the default list.

The file type you enter must match the MIME type of the document as displayed in the system properties of the document. Check the MIME type system property of the documents before entering file types in the Outlook preferences to ensure the correct MIME type is used and the filtering works as intended.

NOTE To be able to see the effects of your changes, users must log out and log back into the application via Outlook and Office applications after you make any changes.

Outlook Profiles

The profile settings determine the process in which Outlook items are added to the object store. The default profile is named System Profile. You can add a new profile or edit the settings for an existing profile.
