The AyaNova OLI Outlook Interface plug-in provides the following AyaNova features from within your Outlook program :
| • | Exports the logged in user's AyaNova scheduled items (Schedule Markers and workorder items) into Outlook |
| • | Imports AyaNova clients/vendors/head offices contact information into Outlook |
| • | Supports Outlook 2002 and higher |
| • | Requires an AyaNova OLI optional add-on license for use. You can fully test it out when trialing AyaNova with your 30 day temporary Activation key; and purchase the OLI optional add-on plug in license from the Purchase web page |
| • | If your computer is 64bit and you want to use OLI, your AyaNova must be networked using SQL Express or SQL Server. 64bit computers are not compatible with OLI and the stand-alone configuration of AyaNova (which uses an embedded Firebird engine) or OLI and the network Firebird Server configuration. |
| • | It is recommended that AyaNova be networked, so that you can run both your AyaNova and your Outlook at the same time. |
AyaNova OLI Outlook Interface installation:
1. Requirements prior to installation:
| • | AyaNova is networked using SQL Express or SQL Server |
| • | The AyaNova program is already installed onto the computer where will be installing OLI |
| • | Outlook must be version 2002 or higher |
| • | Make sure your Outlook program is shut down before running the installation |
2. Download the AyaNova OLI (Outlook interface) setup file from the Downloads web page to a temporary folder on your computer
3. Run the AyaNova OLI setup file and follow the prompts to install
| • | The OLI plug-in files will be installed to this computer in the C:\Program Files\Ground Zero Tech-Works Inc\AyaNova\ folder |
4. Run your Outlook program
5. You will now see that you have an AyaNova menu option when viewing Calendars, an AyaNova menu option when viewing Contacts, an AyaNova menu option from the main Mail section, and an AyaNova menu option when viewing a specific email
6. An AyaNova OLI plug-in license is required before you can run the plug-in.
| • | You can check to see if licensed by logging in as the AyaNova Administrator, select Help -> License |
| • | If you would like to test this plug-in, include in your email request to support@ayanova.com the text from your Help -> License |
| • | Only one license is needed for your database |
Additional Notes:
| • | If your AyaNova is installed on a single computer with the default stand-alone configuration, you can not run both your AyaNova program and your Outlook at the same time. |
| • | Be aware that when you exit out of Outlook, that it does take a few more minutes before Outlook has "really" exited. So before running stand-alone AyaNova or AyaNova Lite, give it a couple minutes after exiting out of Outlook. |
| • | If your AyaNova is networked, you can run both AyaNova and Outlook at the same time. And if concerned that you just have a single computer - no problem, as you do not need a computer that is a "server" to configure AyaNova for network use. You can configure AyaNova for network use on a single computer too. Just follow the steps for either configuring for network use using either the free network Firebird Server or if a 64 bit computer, use the free SQL Express |
