Offers preview and editing of binary content files of Microsoft Office file types.

Characteristics

Function

Viewing Mode

Binary content files of the Microsoft Office file types and many others can be displayed in viewing mode. The preview is provided via the VIEWER Service in combination with a specific dashlet that is automatically installed via a Helm Chart.

In viewing mode, no dedicated authentication license is required for Microsoft Office 365.

Editing Mode

If you have an authentication license for Microsoft Office 365, you have the possibility to edit binary content files of the types DOCX, PPTX, and XLSX directly in your yuuvis® Momentum client application. Changes are saved in a new version of the binary content file and a new object version is created in yuuvis® Momentum.

The editing mode is available for all users with a write permission on the corresponding object. In order to avoid the creation of offline copies, the binary content file that is edited via the OFFICE365 service never leaves the yuuvis® Momentum system during the processing. Thus, it is not possible to open it in a desktop editor directly from the web application. However, it is possible to download the binary content to your local file system from the client and open it from there in a desktop editor.

Certification

Our Office 365 integration is certified by Microsoft for our Software as a Service solution that is hosted by us. Customers with a self-hosted yuuvis® Momentum solution have to obtain their own certification for the Office 365 integration if needed.
