Getting Set Up (Jive Connects for Microsoft Office)

Installing the Plugin

The Jive Connects for Microsoft Office is installed as a plugin you can download from the Jive Software web site. Note that after you add the plugin JAR, you'll need to restart Jive SBS in order for the Jive Connects for Microsoft Office feature to become available.

Once you have the plugin JAR file, install it using the following steps:

Before you install the plugin, ensure that Document Conversion is enabled. To do this, navigate to Admin Console: System >Settings > Document Conversion and select enabled if it's disabled.
In the admin console, go to System > Plugins > Add Plugin.
Under Install a new plugin, click Choose File to browse for the JAR file you received.
After you've chosen the file, click Upload to add the plugin to the community.
Restart the application as described in the administration documentation, which is part of the Jive SBS help.

After you've installed the Jive Connects for Microsoft Office plugin, you can configure it to work your community. For more on this, see Deploying and Managing Jive Connects for Microsoft Office
