Collaboration - Office Integration

1. General

With Intrexx Office Integration, you can conveniently access all release documents that are available as file attachments in your Intrexx portal. The documents can be opened directly in Microsoft Office, edited, and then saved directly in the portal again without needing to take a detour through the browser. Newly created documents can also be saved just as easily in your portal. Office Integration can access published Intrexx applications using all current authentication methods. Additional information about the documents can be requested and edited directly in Office using an edit form. As usual, these edit forms can be created in the Applications module and then adjusted to your individual requirements.
