Field Description
Enable Document Management Select this option to turn on Document Management functionality. After you enable Document Management, the Document Management tabs display in all Info Centers except the Units and Accounts Info Centers.
Server Name/IP

Enter the URL/Web address where Windows SharePoint Services are installed. You can enter values such as "servername:port" in this field. If you enter any protocol prefixes (http, https) or subsite paths, Vision removes them. If you enter a port number, Vision removes it and instead displays it in the Virtual Server Port field.

To select subsites, click Retrieve Sites.

For example, if you enter "http://servername:port/subsite" and leave the field, the value becomes "servername" and the port displays in the Virtual Server Port field.

Virtual Server Port Enter the port number associated with the server referenced in the Server name/IP field. This should be port 80.
