Outlook Add-in

A .JS version of the ICI Outlook Plugin is available in ICI. The overall turnaround time for the author is reduced as he no longer needs to download the documents received over email to the local machine, then switch applications and log in to ICI, search the Agreement and then upload the documents.
The provisioned user can now:

• Upload the next version of the Agreement document received over an Email to the Agreement
• Upload the next version of the Associated document (supporting Attachments) received over an Email to the Agreement
• Create a new Association instance and then upload the Associated Document received over an Email to the Agreement

The configuration of the Outlook Add-in is driven by the Masterdata, whereas the list of Agreements and their details are configured by the Saved Searches. You can configure multiple saved searches.

The Outlook Add-in (.JS version) is supported on 2 different platforms:

• For MAC OS (Mojave): it is tested and verified on Microsoft Office 365 (2016 and above).
• For Windows 10: it is tested and verified on Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 (15.0.5007.1000) and 2016 (16.0.4849.1000) 64-bit and above.
