Using ADD-INS for Excel and Outlook

Using ADD-INS for Excel and Outlook

September 5, 2023

The Outlook Add-In feature will allow users to read, open and create new MTRs within Outlook.

The Excel Add-In is used to open the MTR list and extract records within Excel.

Instructions for both applications are below.

Excel Add-In

The following document will show how the Excel add-in is used.

The login page will load first:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_1

If you input an invalid user, an error message pops up:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_2

An error message will also appear if the password is incorrect:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_3

When you manage to log in successfully, you will see the following page:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_4

Select the “Download all MTRs” button:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_5

All MTR information is displayed in the excel document.

If you touch an invalid cell and hit the “Show marked MTR” button, an error message is displayed:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_6

If you try to download the MTR list over the cells that already have information, an error generated by excel is displayed:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_7

You can always click any other cell and download the list again:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_8

If you what to see only a few MTRs, hit the “Filter MTR List” to go to the following page:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_9

In this page you can use Verso’s normal filter while on the MTR List Page. If you set filters and hit the “Download MTR List” you will get the filtered list:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_10

Hit the “Show marked MTR” button on a “MTR Link” cell and the MTR information is displayed (This also applies to the same button on the Home Page):

2VersoADDIN_Excel_11

Everything will be the same as the MTR in Verso:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_12

Hit the Edit button, and the edit mode turns on:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_13

If a field is required, a red * is shown (see Problem Summary Box):

2VersoADDIN_Excel_14

If you try to update the MTR without filling the required fields, a pop up shows indicating the required fields the user needs to complete:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_15

When everything is correct and you hit the update button, a confirmation appears:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_16

Hit yes and the page is sent back to the start and the data is updated:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_17

The “Back” button will take you back to the Home menu:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_18

Remember that you can always make the add-in visibly larger if you prefer:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_19

You can also sort and filter the information displayed on the workbook:

2VersoADDIN_Excel_20

 

Outlook Add-In

The following document will show how the Outlook add-in is used.

When you open an email that does not contain a MTR link in it, the Add-In does not activate:

2VersoADDIN_Outlook_1

Once you open an email that has a link of a MTR, the “Verso” option appears at top of the email:

2VersoADDIN_Outlook_2

When you click it, the login page is displayed:

2VersoADDIN_Outlook_3

If you input an invalid user, an error message pops up:

2VersoADDIN_Outlook_4

An error message will also appear if the password is incorrect:

2VersoADDIN_Outlook_5

When you manage to log in successfully, the Add-In automatically reads the MTR link from the email and displays all the information:

2VersoADDIN_Outlook_6

Everything will be the same as the MTR in Verso:

2VersoADDIN_Outlook_7

Hit the Edit button, and the edit mode turns on:

2VersoADDIN_Outlook_8

If a field is required, a red * is shown (see Problem Summary Box):

2VersoADDIN_Outlook_9

If you try to update the MTR without filling the required fields, a pop up shows indicating the required fields the user needs to complete:

2VersoADDIN_Outlook_10

When everything is correct and you hit the update button, a confirmation appears:

2VersoADDIN_Outlook_11

Hit “yes” and the page is sent back to the start and the data is updated:

2VersoADDIN_Outlook_12

With the “Back” button you can log out:
