Device Configuration XML For Outlook Add-in

Outlook Add-in configuration settings can be configured remotely by specifying the configuration XML using policies.

For most clients, if the user changes the configuration locally, then the remote settings configured by the Administrator will override those settings the next time the client refreshes its settings.

To set FileCloud's Outlook add-in device configuration for a policy:

In the FileCloud admin portal's left navigation bar, scroll down and click Settings. Then, on the Settings navigation page, click Policies .
The Policies settings page opens.
Edit the policy of the users whose client device settings you want to modify.
Click the Device Configuration tab.

Paste or type in the following remote device configuration XML in Device Configuration replacing  with any parameters from the table below.

<xml>
	<outlookaddin>
            <settings>
        	<!-- XML for outlookaddin App -->
            </settings>
	</outlookaddin>       
</xml>
