Configure for Microsoft Office

To configure Microsoft® Office applications to use the FileNet P8 WebDAV Servlet

  1. Make sure you have already configured WebDAV to use Windows® Explorer. See Configure for Windows Explorer.
  2. Launch a Microsoft Office application, such as Word.
  3. Click File->Open from the Word menu bar.
  4. Choose My Network Places. This creates a connection to the WebDAV Servlet which is then available from within the File->Open->My Network Places dialog box.
  5. Click on the mapped drive for the Application Engine server.
  6. Log on to Workplace.
  7. Navigate the object stores and folders to retrieve content to view or edit. Double-click the document to open in Word. While the document is open within Word, it is locked, meaning that no other WebDAV user can make changes to the document until it is unlocked. The document is unlocked when the document is closed or when the Word application is closed.
  8. When you save the document, the save action triggers an immediate checkout and check in sequence to upload the latest content and create a new version of the document.
  9. When you have completed your edits, click Save and Close. When the document has been closed, the file is unlocked and becomes available for editing by other WebDAV clients.
