Various third-party application can be used in order to modify and extend the behavior of your M-Files Desktop and M-Files Server. For information on managing and installing the applications, see Applications (M-Files Admin).
After a vault-specific client application has been installed via M-Files Admin, it is available for M-Files Desktop users. Upon logging into the vault, M-Files prompts you to enable the new application. If the administrator requires the application to be enabled, you cannot log in and use the vault until you have approved the use of the application.
You can manage computer-specific client applications via the Alt menu .
Note that the computer-specific settings influence the use of the applications as well. By default, the user computer-specifically allows M-Files to use applications that are installed in the document vault. If this setting is disabled, neither the optional nor compulsory vault-specific applications are available.
