IBM FileNet Connector for SharePoint Web Parts installs custom web parts in your SharePoint library. IBM FileNet web parts are added to a SharePoint site page in the same manner as other web parts. This topic lists the basic steps for adding a web part or creating a search center page. See your SharePoint documentation for a full discussion of either option.
NOTE In order to properly set date fields, the IBM FileNet web parts require that the SharePoint time zone match the time zone set on the user's local system. The SharePoint time zone can be set for the entire site, for a specific subsite, or per user; use the method best suited for your site and users.
To add a web part to a page
Web part name | Description |
---|---|
IBM FileNet Basic Search | The IBM FileNet Basic Search web part provides access to the following three functions:
You only need to add the IBM FileNet Basic Search web part to access all search functionality. You can enable IBM FileNet P8 search functionality to SharePoint users in the following two ways:
|
IBM FileNet Browse | The IBM FileNet Browse web part allows you to access and browse an IBM FileNet P8 object store, as designated in the settings. You can enable the Browse web part to display in full page mode. See To display the IBM FileNet Browse web part in full-page mode for instructions. |
IBM FileNet Checkout List | The IBM FileNet Checkout List allows you to access the documents that you currently have checked out from all object stores in an IBM FileNet Content Engine domain. |
IBM FileNet Personal Inbox | The Personal Inbox web part enables you to view and access your IBM FileNet P8 workflow task items from within the Microsoft SharePoint interface. The Personal Inbox web part shows you those task items that are assigned to you, and enables you to process them accordingly. |
IBM FileNet Public Inbox | The Public Inbox web part enables you to view and access shared IBM FileNet P8 workflow task items from within the Microsoft SharePoint interface. A public inbox is assigned to a group of people. Anyone in the group can work on a work item in a public inbox, or can move a work item from the public inbox to the personal inbox for processing. |
IBM FileNet User Administration | The IBM FileNet User Administration web part allows you to manage user profile database entries for IBM FileNet web part users. NOTE This web part is available only if the IBM FileNet Credential Store was selected as the authentication method when IBM FileNet Connector for SharePoint Web Parts was installed. |
NOTE See Configure web parts for instructions on the additional steps required to configure the web part.

Office SharePoint Server Publishing and Site Collection Features must be activated before you can create a Search center page. See your SharePoint documentation for more information.
