To start working with Daminion Connector for MS Office, open Daminion Server Administration panel and click on Web Access > Configure.

In the window that opens, check a checkbox “Enable Office Add-in” and point it to a shared folder to store a plugin manifest file. It can be a shared folder on Daminion Server PC or on any other machine in the network. The main condition is that anyone who will be using Daminion Connector should have access to this folder.

After that, open the web catalog, go to Settings > Integrations.

By default, Daminion Connector is disabled. Once activated via the Daminion Server Administration panel as described above, the download links for Windows and macOS will appear.

Note: The manifest/reg file will contain a path to the server with the plugin. The path will reflect the URL address that is used to connect to the catalog. For example, if the manifest/reg file is download from  “\\192.168.1.10\catalog…”, the Daminion Connector will work with the catalog opened at the same address.
