Before You Begin

Mitratech Office Link is comprised of two add-ins:

• Mitratech Office Link Outlook Add-in for integration with Microsoft Outlook

These add-ins must be installed locally for each user and each user must have appropriate access settings in Suite Manager.

Before you begin:

• If you were previously using Bridgeway Calendar Link, disable Bridgeway Calendar Link in Suite Manager. On the Mitratech Suite tab in the System Settings component, click Calendar Integration and select None from the Calendar integration type dropdown menu.
• If you were previously using Bridgeway Link, disable or uninstall the add-in from Microsoft Outlook.
