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 |
AyaNova OLI Outlook Interface installation:
1. Requirements prior to installation of OLI to your computer:
| • | If your computer is 64bit, AyaNova itself must be networked using SQL Express or SQL Server. |
| • | If your AyaNova is not networked, be aware that you can not run Outlook and AyaNova at the same time. |
| • | The AyaNova program is already installed onto your computer where will be installing OLI |
| • | Your AyaNova is licensed for OLI. Check your Help -> About AyaNova (either a temporary license for OLI or have purchased OLI) |
| • | Outlook installed on this computer must be version 2002 or higher |
| • | Outlook must not be a 64bit version |
| • | Make sure your Outlook program is fully 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 |
| • | You will also notice a DOS screen display for a short while during installation, this is when the registry settings required by Outlook are applied. |
4. Run your Outlook program once the installation has completed.
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
Of course if Outlook 2010 or higher with its new menu, the OLI optional add-on will be located under Add-Ins
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 or log in as any user and select Help -> About AyaNova |
| • | If you would like to test this OLI plug-in but not yet licensed, include in your email request to support@ayanova.com the text from your Help -> License and your ayalog.txt file from your AyaNova program folder |
| • | Only one OLI 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 |
