Note:

The PaperSave Web Part is supported with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint 2013/Office 365.
While using Microsoft SharePoint 2013/Office 365, the PaperSave Web Part can only be configured using the Method 3 (Manual Configuration) configuration option described below.
The PaperSave Web Part interacts with the PaperSave Web Client and it will only operate when the PaperSave Web Client is installed on the PaperSave Application Server.
Please make sure to install the PaperSave Web Client on the PaperSave Application Server before configuring the PaperSave Web Part using any of the methods described below.
Please make sure to delete (if not deleted) PaperSave old Web Part (if exists) by following the steps described in KBA Article 4212.

 

There are two methods to deploy the PaperSave Web Part:

 

1. Run the PaperSave Rapid Configuration Utility for SharePoint 2010/2013/Online

 

2. Run the PaperSave Web Part Setup

 

Deployment Method 1: Run the PaperSave Rapid Configuration Utility for SharePoint 2010/2013/Online

 

The PaperSave Rapid Configuration Utility for SharePoint 2010/2013/Online was created to provide an easy and seamless way of deploying SharePoint sites that model the hierarchy of Host Application Companies (Databases), Modules and Transaction Types. These sites provide a logical way for users who do not have access to the Host Applications that PaperSave is integrated to, to navigate Host Application data in meaningful way. The end result after deploying sites with the PaperSave Rapid Configuration Utility for SharePoint 2010/2013/Online is a site hierarchy that provides those non-host users with the facility to browse host application records and get to documents by extension in a similar fashion to how host users can browse host application records within the host application user interfaces and get to those same documents by extension.

 

Follow the steps outlined in the user guide for the PaperSave Rapid Configuration Utility for SharePoint 2010/2013 to deploy sites that model the host application hierarchy into any target SharePoint 2010/2013/Online root site.
