Email Management and Document Management for eDocs ECM content within Outlook. The eDocs Outlook integration.

The affinity™ eDocs Outlook integration provides users with easy access to their eDocs Content repository through the Microsoft Outlook interface for email filing and document management and supporting Outlook centric workers working with eDocs content within Outlook.

The advanced eDocs Outlook integration brings eDocs content into the Outlook UI by surfacing eDocs folders  and dynamic views as folder hierarchies in the Outlook navigation panel, retaining the Outlook way of working with the Navigation panel, Contents List panel and Preview panel all used to work with content.

Benefits of eDocs Outlook integration:

  • Ease of connection to eDocs folders and Dynamic views: Users can search for target folders / view and add to the Outlook navigation (easy setup)
  • Ability to ‘publish’ eDocs dynamic views to Repstor custodian to allow users to subscribe / unsubscribe to their eDocs structures (e.g. Matter Hierarchy) easily

  • Access eDocs ECM content rendered as a folder hierarchy in Outlook – available on and offline.
