The add-in allows you to open the electronic files of documents created in the SE Document, from MS Word itself or MS Excel. The electronic files can be opened for the viewing of its content or for the drafting of the documents under revision.

 

For this resource to work correctly, it is necessary for the authenticated user to have the access controls to the category and to the document properly allowed in their respective security lists.

The images displayed in this section refer to the add-in for MS Word, but the screens displayed in the add-in for MS Excel are the same.

 

To perform this operation, on the SoftExpert tab, click on the Open option. If the user is not yet authenticated, the add-in will prompt the login.

 

On the right side of the screen that will be opened, two tabs that can be used to easily locate the desired document will be displayed:

Browse
Search

 

According to the definitions performed in the previously described tabs, the documents will be displayed in the list of records. Double-click on the desired document to open its electronic file. If the document has more than one electronic file compatible with the add-in, in the EF (Electronic file) column, click on the icon and then, click on the desired electronic file:

 

 

It is important to note that only the electronic files with extensions compatible with the add-in will be displayed. For example, in the MS Word add-in, only the electronic files with .doc, .docx, etc. extensions will be displayed, while the electronic files with .xls, .xlsx, etc. extensions will be displayed in the MS Excel add-in.

 

At this point, the electronic file will open. The electronic file will only be available for editing if it is accessed through the "Under revision" option. Otherwise, its content will be available for viewing only.

 

 

On the toolbar, the following options will be displayed:

A side panel with the data of the document with which the file is associated will be displayed.

Close

Save

This option will only be displayed if the file was opened through the "Under revision" option and it will not be available in the add-in for MS Outlook. Use it to save the changes performed in the file. With that, the edited file will be saved in the document, in SE Document.
