KnowledgeTree Overview > KnowledgeTree Client Tools for Windows | KnowledgeTree Document Management Software

The KnowledgeTree Client Tools for Windows is a set of client-side tools for KnowledgeTree that provide alternate methods of interacting with the KnowledgeTree server.

Note: The KnowledgeTree Client Tools for Windows is used on KnowledgeTree Commercial On-Premise Edition.

Note: The KnowledgeTree Client Tools for Windows package must be installed on each client machine requiring access to the repository. KnowledgeTree is managed exclusively through the Web interface. See the KnowledgeTree User Manual for information about working with content in the KnowledgeTree repository using KnowledgeTree Client Tools for Windows.

The KnowledgeTree Client Tools for Windows are download and installed as a single package, and includes:

•

KnowledgeTree Integration Server - a server-side component of KnowledgeTree Commercial Editions that provides a standards-based WebDAV interface into the KnowledgeTree Document Management System. Allows KnowledgeTree Commercial users to gain access to the Web-based KnowledgeTree repository, directly from their Windows desktop. KnowledgeTree Integration Server provides access to several plugins that extend the utility of the server for specific tasks.

•

KnowledgeTree Explorer for Windows - a familiar Windows® Explorer-type application that provides a file browser view of the document repository and allows users to work with content in the repository as though they're working on their local computer. Files within the repository may be opened from the desktop, while retaining the functionality of workflows, version control, and metadata. Files, even entire folder trees, may be dragged and dropped from the desktop into KnowledgeTree Explorer.

•

KnowledgeTree Office Add-in for Microsoft Office - adds KnowledgeTree toolbar buttons and a KnowledgeTree menu to the toolbar in Microsoft Office XP/2003 applications (PowerPoint, Excel, Word), to provide quick access to the KnowledgeTree repository from within Microsoft Office applications - add new documents, check-in, check out, and update document metadata.

•	KnowledgeTree Outlook Integration - adds KnowledgeTree buttons and a KnowledgeTree menu to the Microsoft Outlook toolbar to allow you to save incoming and outgoing emails and attachments directly to the KnowledgeTree repository, and to attach files from the repository to outgoing emails.

Note: For more information about using KnowledgeTree Outlook Integration, please see

•	KnowledgeTree Desktop Imaging - a tool accessible from within KnowledgeTree Explorer that allows you to scan hard copy documents directly into the KnowledgeTree repository from within KnowledgeTree Explorer.

•	Open files in the KnowledgeTree repository from your desktop, through KnowledgeTree Explorer, while maintaining control of document versions and metadata.

•	Copy files, or entire folder trees, to or from the repository, using your operating system's 'drag and drop' action.

•	Browse, check out, or check-in KnowledgeTree managed documents from within Microsoft Office XP/2003 applications, using an easy to use Office Toolbar plugin.
