Configure OpenKM Add-In

First you must select the OpenKM tool bar option to set your configuration values to access OpenKM from the client computer. If you've got the OpenKM Add-In already installed, this may not be needed.



When you set your configuration values, a folder called OpenKM is created in your user My documents folder. In this OpenKM folder, a configuration file called openkm.xml and another file called document.xml are created that the OpenKM Add-in uses to store some document editing information. You should not edit or delete these files.



Uploading a new file

After clicking on the File:Add_document.gif add new document button, a folder tree view will appear. You must select the folder where you want to upload the file.



Click on the Send Button and after that the document will be uploaded to OpenKM and a notification message will appear.



Editing an OpenKM document

After clicking on the File:Checkout.gif document edit button, a folder navigator will appear. You must navigate across folders and select a document that you want to edit.



When you've got some OpenKM document opened, the File:Checkin.gif Upload modified document (check-in) and File:Cancel_checkout.gif Cancel document edit toolbar options will be enabled.

  • To upload modified document, use the File:Checkin.gif Upload modified document (check-in) toolbar button.
  • To cancel document editing, use the File:Cancel_checkout.gif Cancel document edit toolbar button.
