Plug-Ins

The installation of several plug-ins is required to enable the interaction between SmartAdvocate and Word, Office, and Google Chrome. These plug-ins must be installed on each workstation from which SmartAdvocate will be accessed.
All plugins required by SmartAdvocate will be located in the "Plugins" directory on the server where SmartAdvocate is installed. You will need to run the required plugins on each work station (You may need supervisor rights on the work station to be able to successfully install the plugins. Please check with your IT department).
The Plugins directory should have a network path that may look similar to the following: \\\[yourserver\]\plugins (file:////[yourserver)
plugins] [substitute 'yourserver' with the actual name of your server.]

Tip
To find the name of your server, start SmartAdvocate, and the name of your server will be displayed as a URL in your browser. See example below.

The Plugins directories will have several sub-directories:
\\[yourserver]plugins\ChromeSupport
\\[yourserver]\plugins\SAOutlook
\\[yourserver]\plugins\WordAddin
\\[yourserver]\plugins\WordMergeAddin
Further, the ChromeSupport sub-directory will have two files in that sub-directory; (1) Chrome Extension Link, and (2) SADocumentLauncher. The installation of the Chrome Extension and Document Launcher are required for you to be able to open documents while running SmartAdvocate in Google Chrome.
There is also a registry file (SAregistry) that is located in the plugins directory. You will need to run this file on the workstation to edit and update the registry.
