Australian developer and solution provider Kapish has announced new updates to its Microsoft Office add-ins allowing increased integration with HPE Content Manager/Records Manager. New features in Version 4 include shared workbooks in Microsoft Excel and enhanced Mail Merge capabilities in Microsoft Word.

Version 4.0 of the Kapish Word Add-In and Kapish Excel Add-In  sees a complete redesign of the look and feel of both applications.

Major work was undertaken to ensure Version 4.0 is compatible with all the latest software applications, which now includes HPE Records Manager 8.3 & Content Manager 9.0; Microsoft Office 2016 and Windows 10. To facilitate this the Kapish Office Add-Ins upgraded the .Net Framework to 4.5.2 to allow the full use of the latest technology.

The Kapish Word Add-In Mail Merge functionality received a complete overhaul in version 4.0 and was transformed into an intuitive step-by-step wizard to walk users through the merge to HPE CM process. The Mail Merge Wizard improves useability and has widen the functionality.

Version 4.0 allows for mapping of CM Locations (either by URI or ID Number) and other fields, such as Container, can be referenced with either the Record Number or URI. This allows other systems (e.g. Pathway) to be used as the data source of the mail merge and then have the final letter saved directly to HPE CM.
