Toolbars and Menu

As TeamKB is tightly integrated into Microsoft Outlook, you will find many new interfaces specific to TeamKB in the form of toolbars, drop-down menus, ribbons, forms etc. plugged in to the usual Outlook explorers and inspectors windows. These make it considerably easy to insert or embed KB articles in emails, appointments, tasks or contacts.

TeamKB menu
The TeamKB menu resides on the top of the Outlook interface and is available all the time. It consists of administrative settings, navigations and article views. The administrative settings sub-menu is not accessible (hidden) to those users who don't have Admin-Access.


Toolbars & Ribbons
TeamKB displays a toolbar on the Outlook explorer window depending on the items content of the current active folder. This enables TeamKB to target functionality specific to each Outlook item such as mails, posts, appointments, tasks and contacts.
