About the Workplace XT server

Workplace XT is the FileNet P8 Platform component that hosts the Workplace XT web application and Workplace XT java applets. Workplace XT provides protection for user credentials that are passed between those applications and Content Engine, and if configured, provides SSL security.

Workplace XT web application

From the Workplace XT application, end users can access Content Engine object stores and Process Engine workflow operations. See Using Workplace XT for an overview of the Workplace XT application.

Microsoft Office and Outlook Integration

Integration with Microsoft Office and Outlook provides web-based access to object stores through these applications. Through this integration, users can easily find and open Office documents, email in Outlook, and tasks and contacts in an object store.

Users can navigate through folders, documents, and stored searches within the object stores. In an Outlook email message, users can insert hyperlinks to objects such as folders, documents, stored searches, and copies of the objects.

Users or administrators download the Office Integration setup program to their machines, where it runs locally. To download from Workplace XT, navigate to Tools -> Downloads -> Download Application Integration for Microsoft ® Office.
