Configure web parts

Most IBM FileNet web parts require configuration before you can use them. If the web part accesses an IBM FileNet component, you must set the appropriate access paths. Some IBM FileNet web parts have additional configuration settings you can modify. You can find all of these settings in the IBM FileNet section of the configuration options.

NOTE  You configure IBM FileNet web parts in the same way as any SharePoint web part. See your SharePoint documentation for instructions on configuring a web part.

The following table describes the IBM FileNet configuration settings for each web part.
