Folder permissions hierarchyIf you want to create a complex folder structure with several nesting levels and set differentgroup permissions, it might be useful to know how the permission priority order isimplemented in the Documentsmodule.Basic principlesThere are three levels of priorities in the Documentsmodule (listed in order of increasingimportance):

1. Folder hierarchy: Parent folders and Subfolderso If you do not specify certain permissions on a subfolder, the subfolder

inherits the parent folder permissions.o If some specific permissions on a subfolder are set, permissions on the

subfolder have the higher priority than permissions on its parent folder.2. Profile: Everyone, Groups, User, Admin

o User permissions have the higher priority than group permissions (i.e. youcan assign permissions to an individual user, no matter which permissionshas a group he/she belongs to).

o There is no group hierarchy, all groups are equal (i.e. one group cannot havepriority over another).

Four levels of priority (listed in order of increasing importance):3. Access rights: Full Access, Read Only, Access Denied

o Access Denied access rights have the higher priority than Read Only accessrights.

o Read Only access rights have the higher priority than Full Access accessrights.

o If a user belongs to several groups with different permissions on a folder, theuser has access rights with the higher priority.

When a user is trying to access a shared folder, the permissions is checked in accordance withthe priority order above:

1. if the current folder has permissions that differ from the parent folder permissions,2. which profile-based permissions are specified on the current folder,3. which access rights has the user.

ExamplesExample 1The following example illustrates the scenario when a user belongs to a group with FullAccess permissions on the parent folder and Read Only permissions on the nested folder,while the user has been granted with individual Full Access permissions on the nested folder.The following examples illustrate the scenarios when a user belongs to several groups withdifferent permissions on a folder.Example 2If the first group has Full Access permissions on a folder and the second group has ReadOnly permissions on the same folder, the user who belongs to both the groups at the sametime has permissions with the higher priority (in this case, Read Only).If a user belongs to a group that does not have access to the folder and to a group with ReadOnly access, Access Denied permissions have the higher priority, consequently, the user doesnot have access to the folder.If you want the user to have other access type, you need to provide individual permissions tohim/her.

Example 3If a folder contains several subfolders, you can change permissions on the subfoldersindependently from the parent folder permissions.If one and the same user belongs to several groups with different permissions, his/herpermissions on every nested folder can be different depending on the permissions specified foreach of the groups.

Managing versions and revisionsUsing the 'Documents' module and the 'Documents' section of the 'Projects' module, you mighthave already noticed that there is a number next to the file title that shows the number of fileversions. Want to learn more about file versions and revisions? Read this tip.

Every time you change and savethe file, a new revision is created.Version is a major change and it includes all the file revisions for a certain period of time. Everyediting session is considered as a new file version, i.e. a new file version is automatically createdand displayed in the version history when the editing session ends. An editing session endswhen a user closes the file (or all users who are editing the file simultaneously close the file)and the delay time passes (the delay time is about 10 seconds).When uploading files, you can set some options that affect the file version.If the file with the same name already exists in the folder, a copy of the file will be created bydefault.

If intermediaterevisions are saved automatically, they always replace previous ones, whether the Keepall saved intermediate versions option is enabled or not.

2. If the administrator enables the possibility to store all intermediate revisions, each usercan enable the Keep intermediate versions when editing option in the CommonSettings section within his/her account. When this option is enabled, every time the

user saves the file by using the Ctrl+S key combination or by using the Save icon in theeditor interface, a new intermediate revision is created and displayed in the versionhistory.

Clickthe Create button in the upper left corner and select the Folder option from the drop-downlist. Enter a name for your folder, for example, a department title, and clickthe Create icon.The folder with the specified name will be created in the Common section.

To restrict the access you need to set permissions for all the created folders.Click the Access button to the right of the necessary folder or use the Sharing Settings optionfrom the context menu to open the Access Settings window.

Integrating with CalendarTheMail and Calendar integration gives you a possibility to exchange the calendar eventinformation between the internal portal Calendar and some third-party calendar applicationsusing theMailmodule as a communication channel.The integration is based on the common open iCalendar format. iCalendar is a popular formatfor interchanging calendar and scheduling information over the Internet. iCalendar issupported by a large number of open and proprietary software, such as MS Exchange Server, MSOffice Outlook 2000-2013, Google Calendar/GMail, Outlook.com, YandexMail/Calendar, Mail.ru, Yahoo, Apple Mail/Calendar, Lotus, Zimbra, Mozilla Thunderbird with theLightning extension etc.When theMail Aggregator downloads email messages from any mail accounts connected totheMailmodule, the service searches for files in the iCalendar format. If an email containssuch a file, you can:

· view the information about the event: its date and time, location, organizer's name.The calendar event card is interactive, i.e. it changes depending on the source eventstate. If the event has been changed or deleted in the third-party calendar or in theinternal portal Calendar, the event card will display corresponding changes and anew notification about the event update or cancellation will be sent to the eventparticipants.

o if you have been invited to an event from the third-party calendar applicationor the internal portal Calendar, you can respond to the invitation right fromthe email message clicking the Yes,Maybe or No button in the Reply section.You can change your decision later. When a participant accept, tentativelyaccept or decline the invitation, the event organizer will also receive an emailnotification.

o view the event Location on themap (if the location has been specified by theorganizer).

o edit the event in the internal portal Calendar using the Go to event link. Theevents from the email messages are automatically imported toMycalendar on the portal. When you edit an imported event, the changes will beapplied to this calendar only, they will not affect the source event in the third-party calendar. In turn, any further changes to the source event in the third-party application will not have an effect on the imported event.

o view other events scheduled for the event date clicking the Go to Calendar inthe Agenda section.

· manually import events into the internal portal Calendar. While the events areimported automatically, you might need to import the event repeatedly from theemail message, e.g. in case you delete it from your calendar. To do that, clickthe icon to the right of the file and select the Save to Calendar option from themenu. The event will be saved toMy calendar.

· view .ics files. To do that, click theMore Details link in the event card, or the filename in the Attachments section, or click the icon to the right of the file andselect the View option from the menu. The file will open in a new window.

For AdministratorsHow it worksONLYOFFICE Mail is a tool that allows to work with email messages right on your portal. Itprovides a variety of the standard capabilities implemented in any other email client:

· connecting mailboxes,· receiving and sending email messages,· using the address book and managing contacts,· setting up a signature,· using the mail autoreply feature,· printing messages.

Besides that, ONLYOFFICE Mail provides useful features that are not available when workingwith other email clients, namely it allows to add information to other entities on the portal, e.g.you can:

· automatically save documents from attachments into a shared folder on the portal,· add new contacts into the CRM module,· link the correspondence history with a CRM contact/opportunity/case,· add events into the Calendar.

This is one of the portal tools used to create a single workspace and make your businesscommunications and customer relationship more convenient and efficient. In addition to theabove options, ONLYOFFICE Mail allows you to:

· send invoices to your customers right from the CRM system,· attach any documents stored on the portal to email messages.

In the ONLYOFFICE Mailmodule, it's also possible to use ONLYOFFICE Mail Server that offersthe following features:

· connect your domain,· create corporate mailboxes,· add aliases,· create mail groups.

For a better understanding of the ONLYOFFICE Mail special characteristics and differencesfrom other email clients like Thunderbird or MS Outlook, you should know what is email as aphenomenon and how the process of sending and receiving emails is performed in other emailclients.How do commonly used email clients work?Email is a client/server solution. When sending and receiving email messages from an emailclient, the following client-side and server-side applications interact:

· MUA - Mail User Agent that allows to view incoming messages and transfersoutgoing messages to the mail server,

· MTA - Mail Transfer Agent that transfers messages between servers,· MDA - Mail Delivery Agent that receives incoming messages and delivers them to the

recipient's mailbox.The process of sending messages from an email client is performed as follows:

1. The sender transfers an email message from the email client to the mail server overthe SMTP protocol.

o The sender's email client connects to its outgoing mail server.o Once the connection with the mail server is established, the information

about the email sender, recipient and the send date is transmitted to theserver.

2. The sender's mail server transfers the email message to the recipient's mail serverover the SMTP protocol.

o The mail server queues the message. Before the message is actually sent, theserver verifies if several conditions are performed.

o The sender's mail server refers to the Domain Name System (DNS) andverifies if the A and MX records exist for the domain specified in therecipient's email address.

o A record allows to obtain an external IP address associated with a domainname.

o MX record allows to find out where the mail server that receives mail for adomain is located.

o The sender's mail server verifies if port 25, which is responsible for themessage delivery, is open on the recipient's incoming mail server.

o If all the requirements are met, the sender's mail server refers to therecipient's mail server, informs it about the intention to send the messageand transfers the information about the email sender and certain recipient. Ifthis recipient exists, the message body is sent.

o The recipient's mail server downloads the message and checks it for spam orviruses. If the message passes all checks, it is placed to the storage. If themessage does not pass a check, it can be rejected.

3. The recipient connects to his mail server over the POP3 or IMAP4 protocol,downloads the message, and after that can view it in the email client interface.The main differences between the POP3 and IMAP4 protocols are in the followingfacts:

o The POP3 protocol downloads an entire email message completely to theuser's computer. This does not ensure reverse synchronization. All the actionsperformed with a message in the client-side application (e.g., reading, moving)are not transferred to the server and cannot be displayed in other emailclients.

o The IMAP4 protocol allows to work with the mail server without downloadingthe entire message, but downloading the display of the status for the emailmessages on the server. A user can view email headers only and selectivelydownload the messages he want to read by clicking on the necessary header.This protocol ensures reverse synchronization.

Particulars of the ONLYOFFICE Mail implementationONLYOFFICE Mail includes the following main components:1. Mail Aggregator - a service that collects email messages from other mailboxes.

The following components are also used to ensure the mail aggregator operation:o Own email storage,o The email storage API,o HTTP server that processes the requests to this API. It is also responsible for

sending emails.In the user interface with a set of standard folders, you can connect existing mailboxesspecifying your login, password and settings for connection to a mail server. The mailaggregator will download email messages from the connected mailboxes into thestorage over the protocol used for retrieving email (POP3 or IMAP4) that is specified inthe connection settings. You will be able to view the received messages and send emailsfrom any of the connected mailboxes.The mail aggregator always works with a delay. If there are a lot of users on your portal,a number of settings can be used to ensure that email messages for all user aredelivered in a certain time period. First the aggregator collects new messages, and thencollects all others. It's also possible to collect messages only for the last 30 days, or givepriority to active portal users.None of the actions performed in our client are transferred to the source server, withthe only exception: a sent message is placed to the "Sent" folder on the server.

2. Mail Server - a set of software products that allows to send and receive email messagesfrom the ONLYOFFICE Mail interface using own domain names.The following components are also used to ensure the mail server operation:

o MailServer API - a set of functions for connecting own domain names,creating and setting up mailboxes, aliases and mail groups.

o MailServer WebUI - the Administration page used for the interaction with theMailServer API.

o Mail Aggregator, which is described above.The main differences between ONLYOFFICE Mail and other email programs are in thefollowing facts:

· ONLYOFFICE Mail Server supports the SMTP, IMAP and POP3 protocols, but emailmessages are sent using HTTP server.

· ONLYOFFICE Mail Server does not have own email client. TheMail Aggregator isused for working with ONLYOFFICE Mail Server, like for the interaction with anyother third-party mail server.

This results in some restrictions. For example, it's not possible to implement full-fledgedoperation via the IMAP protocol.

If a mail server has own email client, there are no restrictions on the number of connectionsfrom the same IP address between the client-side and server-side applications, while suchrestrictions always exist when working with third-party clients.As we work with ONLYOFFICE Mail Server using the mail aggregator rather than own emailclient, this restriction may work if there are a lot of users on the portal, because all the users'mailboxes are on the same IP address.

Configuring mail serverFrom now onMail not only aggregates the emails from different email services that you usebut also gives you an opportunity to add a mail server to your domain. So, if you have your owndomain you can easily create and manage corporate mailboxes right on your portal.Only the portal owner and administrator can set up the domains, create, manage and deletecorporate mailboxes.To set up your first domain,

Protect data using encryptionIntroductionThe Encrypt data at rest feature provided by the Control Panel allows you to ensure thesecurity of sensitive data on your portal.Encryption is a reversible conversion of information in order to maintain the confidentiality ofthe data stored on disk. Thus, even if intruders managed to gain access to the data stored onthe hard disk, they will not be able to read it, since it is encrypted.Encryption is based on a Encrypt-then-MAC type of encryption (AES-256-CBC + HMAC-SHA256)of the entire body of data within the ONLYOFFICE instance and is compliant with AES-256 international data encryption standard. AES-256 encryption type with CipherMode.CBCsymmetric algorithm are used for enciphering the data on the portal, while SHA256 hashingfunction paired with HMAC message authentication code screening verify the integrity and theauthenticity of the encrypted data.This feature is available only for server versions.Prepare for the encryption processBefore starting the encryption procedure, you must perform some preliminary steps.

1. Sign in to your portal and click the Control Panel icon on the Start Page.Alternatively, you can go to the portal Settings and select the Control Panel link onthe left-side panel.

2. Switch to the Backup section and backup data.3. Disable the Automatic Data Backup feature.4. Select the Local storage option for both Connect storage for static

data and Connect storage as CDN.5. Make sure there is enough space on your hard drive.

After the preliminary preparations are ready, you can proceed to the next step.Encrypt storage

1. Switch to the Storage section in the Control Panel.2. Check the Notify users that the portal will be unavailable checkbox to notify all

active users via email when the encryption process starts.Upon the successful completion of the encryption process, all active users will alsoreceive email notifications. If an error occurs during the encryption process, then alladministrators (regardless of the Notify users option) will receive email notificationsof the unsuccessful encryption process.

3. Click the Encrypt storage button and then OK to launch the encryption process.

The time required to complete the procedure depends on the data volume. All portals will beunavailable during the encryption process. As soon as the encryption is over, the portal datawill be available for work.When encryption is enabled, a newly created backup copy of the data archive willcontain decrypted files. When such a copy is restored, the files will be encrypted on the diskagain.Decrypt storageTo decrypt data on the portal,

1. Switch to the Storage section in the Control Panel.2. Check the Notify users that the portal will be unavailable checkbox to notify all

active users via email when the decryption process starts.Upon the successful completion of the decryption process, all active users will alsoreceive email notifications. If an error occurs during the decryption process, then alladministrators (regardless of the Notify Users option) will receive email notificationsof the unsuccessful decryption process.

3. Click the Decrypt storage button and then OK to launch the decryption process.The time required to complete the procedure depends on the data volume. All portals will beunavailable during the encryption process. As soon as the encryption is over, the portal datawill be available for work.

Navigate faster using Full-Text Search featureIntroductionThe Full-Text Search feature provided by the Control Panel allows you to search for thenecessary string not only among the names of documents, emails etc. but also within theircontent.ONLYOFFICE uses Elasticsearch, an open-source, broadly-distributable and readily-scalablesearch engine. Elsaticsearch is built on top of Lucene, a free and open-source search enginesoftware library, and, therefore, it is excellent for fast full-text search. The documents stored inElasticsearch are distributed across different containers known as shards, which are duplicatedto provide redundant copies of the data in case of hardware failure.Using Elasticsearch not only significantly reduces the time spent searching for a particular fileor a text line but also enhances the search precision.

This feature is available only for server versions.Enabling the Full-Text Search featureTo turn on full-text search within document contents,

1. Sign in to your portal and click the Control Panel icon on the Start Page.Alternatively, you can go to the portal Settings and select the Control Panel link onthe left-side panel.

2. Switch to the Full-Text Search section.3. Check the Search in documents content checkbox and/or Search in mail

messages content to enable the full-text search in the Documentmodule, or intheMailmodule respectively and click Save. The stored files will be indexed in thecorresponding modules.

Since ElasticSerch indexes all stored files, enabling this feature requires at least an equalamount of free disk space as the overall disk space required for all documents, emailsand other content.

Reindex Full-Text SearchIf the file you are looking for is not among the search results (e.g. in the Documents module),and you are sure that it exists, an indexing error might have occurred.To rebuild indexes in a separately selected portal module,

1. Switch to the Full-Text Search section in the Control Panel.2. Click the Reindex button on the right of the necessary module section.

To rebuild all indexes,1. Switch to the Full-Text Search section in the Control Panel.2. Click the Reindex all button.

Deploying multiple portals using theMultitenancy featureIntroductionIn case you have a large number of users, you might need a solution that allows you to reducelicensing and infrastructure costs as well as simplify the software deployment andmaintenance. ONLYOFFICE Workspace provides you such a possibility. You can run severalindependent portals from a single ONLYOFFICE Workspace installation instead of installingseveral application instances on separate servers.For example, you can create individual portals for certain departments of your organization sothat each portal contains own data and has some individual settings, but all the portals can becentrally updated and managed via Control Panel.Step 1. Set up your domain nameTo use the multitenancy functionality, you need to have a registered domain name. In yourdomain DNS settings, create the following records:

1. Create the A record that points your domain name to the IP address of the serverwhere ONLYOFFICE Workspace is installed.

2. Create the wildcard A record specifying the asterisk "*" as a name to enablesubdomains.

Your settings should look something like this:Step 2. Configure the current portalTo access Control Panel, sign in to your portal and click the 'Control Panel' link on the StartPage. Alternatively, you can go to the portal 'Settings' and click the 'Control Panel' link on theleft-side panel.

Create a new portalAt theMultitenancy page of the Control Panel, perform the following actions:

1. click the NEW PORTAL button,2. specify a name for your second portal,3. if necessary, uncheck the Limit Control Panel functionality option,

When this setting is enabled, the PORTAL SETTINGS section will only be available inthe Control Panel of the new portal. This section allows the portal administrator tomanage the current portal only. If you disable this setting, full access to the ControlPanel functionality will be provided. The COMMON SETTINGS section will also beavailable in the Control Panel of the new portal. This section allows the portaladministrator to manage all portals.

4. click OK to save the portal.If you have not unchecked the Visit this portal after creating option that is selected bydefault, you will be redirected to the new portal that is available atthe newportalname.domainname.com address.The Portal Setup page will open in a new browser tab. Specify and confirm your password(password must be at least 8 but no more than 30 characters long), optionally change the emailto create the Administrator account. You will not need to upload the license file as it is appliedto all the portals at once.To configure some individual settings for the new portal, go to the Portal Settings. You canadjust Customization settings (portal language and time zone, welcome page settings, teamtemplate, color scheme), select the necessaryModules and Tools to use,specify Security settings and SMTP settings.Step 4. Manage your portalsYou can access Control Panel from each of the created portals. At theMultitenancy tab youcan view the overall number of your created portals and the license information.

the StartTLS technology (in this case, the default port 389 is used). Check the EnableSSL box if you want to use the SSL protocol (in this case, the port number will change to636 automatically).

4. Fill out the fields necessary for user import (the obligatory fields are marked with anasterisk):WarningPlease note that in case you have already imported some users and changed some ofthe settings (e.g. Server, User Filter, User DN, Group Filter, Group DN), the existingusers and all their data, including documents, emails, etc. not matching these newsettings will be DISABLED. We strongly recommend creating a backup before youchange any settings.

· in the Server field, enter the LDAP server URL address in the form protocol://host,e.g. LDAP://example.com for a regular LDAP connection or LDAPS://example.com fora secure LDAP connection over SSL. You can also specify the server IP addressinstead of its DNS name: LDAP://192.168.3.202,

· specify a Port Number that is used to access LDAP server. The default port forregular LDAP connections is 389. If you have enabled the StartTLS option, the defaultport 389 is also used. If the SSL option is enabled, the port number automaticallychanges to 636.

· in the User DN (User Distinguished Name) field, specify the absolute path to the toplevel directory containing users you want to import. This parameter defines the nodewhere the search starts. You can specify the root directory, e.g. dc=example,dc=com,to search for users within the entire directory, or specify a certain search area,e.g. ou=groupname,dc=example,dc=com, to search for users within the specifiedgroup.

· fill out the User Filter field if you need to import the users who correspond to thespecified search criteria. The default filter value (uid=*) allows importing all users.

· specify the Login Attribute value (an attribute in a user record that corresponds tothe login that LDAP server users will use to log in to ONLYOFFICE).Please note: the default settings are specified for OpenLDAP Server. For ActiveDirectory, you need to change the following settings:User Filter - (userPrincipalName=*)Login Attribute - sAMAccountName

5. The Attribute Mapping section allows you to set up a correspondence between theuser data fields on the portal and the attributes in the LDAP server user record. Clickthe Add Attribute button, choose the necessary data field from the list and specify theuser attribute used in your LDAP server. The following parameters are set by default,but you can change them if it's necessary:· First Name (an attribute in a user record that corresponds to the user's first name)· Second Name (an attribute in a user record that corresponds to the user's second

name)· Mail (an attribute in a user record that corresponds to the user's email address)· Title (an attribute in a user record that corresponds to the user's title)· Primary Mobile Phone (an attribute in a user record that corresponds to the user's

mobile phone number)· Location (an attribute in a user record that corresponds to the user's location)You can also add the following attributes: Additional Mail, Additional MobilePhone, Additional Phone, Date of Birth, Profile Photo, Sex, Skype.

6. Click the Group membership switcher if you want to add groups from LDAP server toyour portal and fill out the necessary fields:

Please note, that if you decide to add groups, only users who belong to at least onegroup will be added.WarningPlease note that in case you have already imported some users and changed some ofthe settings (e.g. Server, User Filter, User DN, Group Filter, Group DN), the existingusers and all their data, including documents, emails, etc. not matching these newsettings will be DISABLED. We strongly recommend creating a backup before youchange any settings.· in the Group DN (Group Distinguished Name) field, specify the absolute path to the

top level directory containing groups you want to import,e.g. ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com.

· fill out the Group Filter field if you need to import the groups which correspond tothe specified search criteria. The default filter value (objectClass=posixGroup) allowsimporting all groups.

· the following parameters are set by default, but you can change them if it'snecessary:

o User Attribute (an attribute that determines whether this user is a memberof the groups)

o Group Name Attribute (an attribute that corresponds to a name of thegroup where the user is included)

o Group Member Attribute (an attribute that specifies the users that thegroup includes)

Please note: the default settings are specified for OpenLDAP Server. For ActiveDirectory, you need to change the following settings:

· Group Filter - (objectClass=group)· User Attribute - distinguishedName· Group Member Attribute - member

7. Set up Admin Access Rights Settings: click the corresponding button, select full accessand specify the group that should have full administrative rights. Choose a portalmodule from the list and specify the group that should have administrative rights to theselected module.

8. Turn on the Authentication switcher. In the Login and Password fields, enter thecredentials of the user who have rights to read data from LDAP server.

9. Check the Send Welcome Letter box in the Advanced Settings section if you want tosend invitations by email to all new users. The welcome message contains a button thatallows users to go to the portal login page and activate the email. This option is onlyavailable if the mail attribute mapping is configured.

10. Click the SAVE button.11. In the 'Confirmation of import' window that appears click the OK button to start

importing users.

The import process will take some time depending on number of users, groups, computerspecifications etc.Please note: the portal user email will be taken from theMail Attribute setting. If it is missing,it will be formed in the following way: Login Attribute + @ + LDAP Domain.

· In case there is a previously created user with such email on the portal, this user will beautomatically synchronized with the LDAP user.

· In case such email does not exist, the user will not receive any portal notifications.There are some special features starting from Community Server v. 10.0:

· the portal owner is not affected by changing access rights via LDAP;· if the portal owner has been excluded from the user/group filter, he ceases to be an

LDAP user but always remains active;· when disabling LDAP, all access rights provided for users via LDAP are taken away;· if the user who have disabled LDAP should lose admin rights, his admin rights are

unaffected and the user receives a notification;· if a user has been excluded from the user/group filter, he remains active and

receives a notification that the LDAP password is no longer active and it should bechanged at the profile settings page;

· if a user attempts to take away admin rights from himself (both via access rightssettings and by excluding himself from the user/group filter), his admin rights areunaffected and the user receives a notification.

Authenticating LDAP usersEach imported user will be able to sign in to the portal using the login that is formed accordingto the following schemes:

· Login Attribute, e.g. Andrew.Stone· Login Attribute + @ + LDAP Domain, e.g. Andrew.Stone@example.com· LDAP Domain + \ + Login Attribute (incomplete domain names are supported),

e.g. example\Andrew.StoneOn the authorization page, the Sign in to domain option is available which allows transferringa password in an explicit form. Portal users outside of the domain can uncheck this setting. Insuch a case, a password will be transferred in a hashed form.Imported user profiles in the Peoplemodule will be marked with the LDAP icon for the portaladministrator. The user profile fields that have been imported using LDAP are blocked forediting.Synchronizing LDAP dataIf you change data in your LDAP server (e.g. add new users/groups, rename existing groups oredit some information in a user record), you can easily synchronize the portal data with thenew information from your LDAP server.To adjust the synchronization options, turn on the Auto Sync switcher and set the necessarytime to perform the automatic synchronization: you can synchronize data every hour atspecified minutes, or every day at a specified time, as well as every week or month at aspecified day and time. Click Save to apply the settings. It's also possible to synchronize datamanually by clicking the SYNC button at the bottom of the LDAP page. Alternatively, you canuse the SAVE button below the LDAP Settings section.The information about a separate user will also be synchronized after this user has logged in tothe portal.ONLYOFFICE Single Sign-on overviewIntroductionThe Single Sign-on feature provided by the Control Panel allows you to enable third-partyauthentication using the installed SSO services (Shibboleth, OneLogin, or Active DirectoryFederation Services).Generally, the Single Sign-on technology allows users to sign in only once and then get accessto multiple applications/services without re-authentication. E.g. if a web portal includes severallarge independent sections (forum, chat, blogs etc.), a user can undergo the authenticationprocedure within one of the services and automatically get access to all other services withoutentering credentials several times.

SSO is always ensured by the joint operation of two applications: an Identity Provider and aService Provider (hereinafter referred to as "IdP" and "SP").ONLYOFFICE SSO implements the SP only. A lot of different providers can act as an IdP, butONLYOFFICE has been tested with the following services only: Shibboleth, OneLogin and AD FS.Using SSO authentication you get the following main benefits:

· Increased convenience. Users obtain a more quick and easy way to access theportal without the necessity to memorize multiple passwords and logins.

· Enhanced security. ONLYOFFICE does not store user passwords in any form, insteadof that it uses the results of the authentication on the Identity Provider side.

· Easy administration. All the necessary user information is transmitted through anauthentication token. If the user information changes on the Identity Provider side, itwill be automatically updated on the portal during the next SSO authentication. If auser profile does not exist on the portal, it will be created automatically when theuser signs in to the portal using the SSO credentials for the first time.

In ONLYOFFICE, SSO authentication is implemented on the base of the secure and commonlyused SAML standard. SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an XML standard thatallows to transmit user authentication/authorization data between an Identity Provider and aService Provider through security tokens which contain assertions.

Enabling SSOTo enable and configure SSO authentication for your portal, you need to perform the followingtwo main steps:

1. Register your Identity Provider at the ONLYOFFICE Control Panel -> SSO page. Theinformation you should specify can be found in your Identity Provider account.If you want to use SSO when connecting ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors toyour ONLYOFFICE Workspace, disable Private Rooms in the Control Panel.

2. Register ONLYOFFICE as a trusted Service Provider in your Identity Provider account.This procedure differs depending on the selected Identity Provider.

Each portal can only be integrated with one Identity Provider at the same time.Registering your Identity Provider in the ONLYOFFICEService ProviderTo register your IdP in ONLYOFFICE SP, use the ONLYOFFICE SP Settings section ofthe SSO page.

1. On your ONLYOFFICE portal, go to the Control Panel and open the SSO page inthe PORTAL SETTINGS section on the left sidebar.

2. Click the Enable Single Sign-on Authentication switcher.

3. Fill in the required fields in the ONLYOFFICE SP Settings section. The necessaryinformation can be specified in several different ways:

· Enter the URL address to the metadata file. If your IdP metadata is accessiblefrom outside by the link, insert the link into the URL to IdP Metadata XML field andclick the Load data button. When the data is loaded, all the required parameters willbe automatically displayed in the extended form.

· Upload the metadata file. If your IdP provides a metadata file, use the Selectfile button to browse for the file stored on your local machine. When the file isuploaded, all the required parameters will be automatically displayed in theextended form.

· Specify the required parameters manually. If the metadata file is not available,enter the necessary parameters manually. To obtain the necessary values, pleasecontact your IdP administrator.

The following parameters are available:· IdP Entity Id (obligatory field) - the Identity Provider identifier or URL address which

will be used by the Service Provider to unequivocally identify the IdP.example: https://example.com/idp/shibboleth

· where example.com is your SSO service domain name· IdP Single Sign-On Endpoint URL (obligatory field) - the URL used for the single sign-

on on the Identity Provider side. It is the endpoint address in your IdP to which SPsends authentication requests.Set the necessary Binding type selecting one of the corresponding radio buttons.Bindings specify the way in which authentication requests and responses aretransmitted between the IdP and SP over the underlying transport protocol: usingthe HTTP POST or HTTP Redirect binding.

· IdP Single Logout Endpoint URL - the URL used for the single logout on the Serviceprovider side. It is the endpoint address in your IdP to which SP sends logoutrequests/responses.Set the necessary Binding type selecting one of the corresponding radio buttons.Bindings specify the way in which logout requests and responses are transmittedbetween the IdP and SP over the underlying transport protocol: using theHTTP POST or HTTP Redirect binding.

· NameId Format - the NameID parameter allows SP to identify a user. Select one ofthe available formats from the list.

It's possible to customize the button used to login to the portal with the Single Sign-on serviceat the ONLYOFFICE authentication page. You can do it using the Custom login buttoncaption field in the ONLYOFFICE SP Settings section.

You can also add the IdP and SP certificates.IdP Public CertificatesIdP Public Certificates - this section allows you to add the Identity Provider public certificatesused by the SP to verify the requests and responses from the IdP.If you have loaded the IdP metadata, these certificates will be added to the ControlPanel automatically. Otherwise, the certificates can be found in your IdP account. To add acertificate manually, click the Add certificate button. The New Certificate window opens.Enter the certificate in the Public Certificate field and click the OK button.Set additional parameters for certificates checking the corresponding boxes.Specify which signatures of requests/responses sent from IdP to SP should be verified:

· Verify Authentication Response Signature - to verify signatures of the SAMLauthentication responses sent to SP.

· Verify Logout Request Signature - to verify signatures of the SAML logout requestssent to SP.

· Verify Logout Response Signature - to verify signatures of the SAML logoutresponses sent to SP.

Select the necessary algorithm from the Default Signature Verification Algorithm list: rsa-sha1, rsa-sha256 or rsa-sha512.Default settings are used only in cases if the IdP metadata does not specify which algorithmshould be used.You can edit or delete the added certificates using the corresponding link.SP CertificatesSP Certificates - this section allows you to add the Service Provider certificates used to signand encrypt the requests and responses from the SP.If your IdP requires that input data is signed and/or encrypted, create or add correspondingcertificates in this section.Click the Add certificate button. The New Certificate window opens. You can generate a self-signed certificate or add an existing certificate in the Public Certificate field and thecorresponding private key in the Private Key field. In the Use for list, select one of the availableoptions: signing, encrypt, signing and encrypt. When ready, click the OK button.

Depending on the certificate purpose selected in the Use for list when uploading/generatingthe certificate, the certificate additional parameters are specified. The following parametersdefine which requests/responses sent from SP to IdP should be signed:

· Sign Authentication Requests - to have SP sign the SAML authentication requestssent to IdP.

· Sign Logout Requests - to have SP sign the SAML logout requests sent to IdP.· Sign Logout Responses - to have SP sign the SAML logout responses sent to IdP.

If you have selected the encrypt or signing and encrypt option in the Use for list, the DecryptAssertions parameter is also checked. The decryption is performed using thecorresponding Private Key.Select the necessary algorithms from the lists:

· Signing Algorithm: rsa-sha1, rsa-sha256 or rsa-sha512.· Default Decryption Algorithm: aes128-cbc, aes256-cbc or tripledes-cbc.

You can edit or delete the added certificates using the corresponding link.Attribute MappingAttribute Mapping - this section allows you to set the correspondence of the fields in theONLYOFFICE Peoplemodule to the user attributes which will be returned from the IdP. When auser signs in to the ONLYOFFICE SP using the SSO credentials, ONLYOFFICE SP receives therequired attributes and populates the full name and email address fields in the user accountwith the values received from the IdP. If the user does not exist in the People module, it will becreated automatically. If the user information has been changed on the IdP side, it will beupdated in SP as well.The available attributes are:

· First Name (obligatory field) - an attribute in a user record that corresponds to theuser's first name.

· Last Name (obligatory field) - an attribute in a user record that corresponds to theuser's second name.

· Email (obligatory field) - an attribute in a user record that corresponds to the user'semail address.

· Location - an attribute in a user record that corresponds to the user's location.· Title - an attribute in a user record that corresponds to the user's title.· Phone - an attribute in a user record that corresponds to the user's phone number.

Advanced SettingsThe Hide auth page option allows you to hide default authentication page and automaticallyredirect to SSO service.

When all the settings are specified in the Control Panel, click the Save button.The ONLYOFFICE SP Metadata section will open.Registering ONLYOFFICE as a trusted ServiceProvider in your Identity ProviderNow you need to add ONLYOFFICE as a trusted Service Provider in your IdP account specifyingthe ONLYOFFICE SP metadata in the IdP.To receive necessary data, refer to the ONLYOFFICE SP Metadata section of the SSO page.Verify that the SP data is publicly accessible. To do that, click the Download SP MetadataXML button. The XML file contents will be displayed in a new browser tab. Save the data as anXML file to be able to upload it to the IdP.Alternatively, you can manually copy separate parameters clicking the Copy toclipboard button in the corresponding fields.The following parameters are available:

· SP Entity ID (link to metadata XML) - the Service Provider XML URL address whichcan be downloaded and used by the Identity Provider to unequivocally identify theSP. By default, the file is located at the followingaddress: http://example.com/sso/metadata where example.com is your ONLYOFFICEportal domain name or public IP.

· SP Assertion Consumer URL (support POST and Redirect binding) - the ServiceProvider URL address where it receives and processes assertions from the IdentityProvider. By default, the following address isused: http://example.com/sso/acs where example.com is your ONLYOFFICE portaldomain name or public IP.

· SP Single Logout URL (support POST and Redirect binding) - the URL used for thesingle logout on the Identity Provider side. It is the endpoint address in your SPwhere it receives and processes logout requests/responses from the IdentityProvider. By default, the following address isused: http://example.com/sso/slo/callback where example.com is your ONLYOFFICEportal domain name or public IP.

These parameters and XML contents differ depending on you portal configuration, e.g. if youswitch your portal to HTTPS or specify a domain name, the parameters will also be changedand you will need to reconfigure your IdP.Logging in to the ONLYOFFICE SPAfter the SSO is enabled and configured, the logging in process is performed in the followingway:

1. A user requests access to ONLYOFFICE by clicking the Single Sign-on button (thecaption may differ if you have specified your own text when configuring ONLYOFFICESP) at the ONLYOFFICE portal Authentication page (SP-initiated SSO).

2. If all the IdP and SP settings are set correctly, ONLYOFFICE sends the authenticationrequest to the IdP and redirects the user to the IdP page where he/she is asked forcredentials.

3. If the user is not already logged in to the IdP, he/she provides credentials in the IdP.4. IdP creates the authentication response that contains user data and sends it to

ONLYOFFICE.5. ONLYOFFICE receives the authentication response from the Identity Provider and

validates it.6. If the response is validated, ONLYOFFICE allows the user to log in (the user will be

created automatically if missing, or the data will be updated if changed in the IdP).It's also possible to use the sign-in page on the Identity Provider side (IdP-initiated SSO), entercredentials and then access the ONLYOFFICE portal without re-authentication.Logging out from the ONLYOFFICE SPLogout can be made using 2 available ways:

1. From the ONLYOFFICE portal using the Sign Outmenu (in this case the request willbe sent from IdP to logout). The user should also be automatically logged out fromthe IdP in case he/she is logged out from all other applications previously accessedvia SSO authentication.

2. From the IdP logout page.Editing user profiles created using SSOThe users created using the SSO authentication are marked with the SSO icon in the user list forthe portal administrator.The possibility to edit such user profiles in the People module is restricted. The user profilefields that have been created using the SSO authentication are disabled for editing from thePeople module. The user data can be changed on the IdP side only.Configuring ONLYOFFICE SP and Shibboleth IdPIntroductionSingle Sign-on (SSO) is a technology that allows users to sign in only once and then get accessto multiple applications/services without re-authentication.example: If a web portal includes several large independent sections (forum, chat, blogs etc.), auser can undergo the authentication procedure within one of the services and automatically getaccess to all other services without entering credentials several times.SSO is always ensured by the joint operation of two applications: an Identity Provider and aService Provider (hereinafter referred to as "IdP" and "SP"). ONLYOFFICE SSO implementsthe SP only. A lot of different providers can act as an IdP, but this article considersthe Shibboleth implementation.

If you want to use SSO when connecting ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors to your ONLYOFFICEWorkspace, disable Private Rooms in the Control Panel.Preparing ONLYOFFICE Workspace for the SSO setup

1. Install ONLYOFFICE Workspace v. 11.0.0 for Docker or any later version with the SSOsupport.

2. Add a domain name, e.g., myportal-address.com.3. On your portal, go to the Control Panel -> HTTPS, create and apply

the letsencrypt certificate for the traffic encryption (to enable HTTPS on your portal).Creating Shibboleth IdPRequirements

· To deploy Shibboleth IDP, a clean CentOS 7 host machine is required.· Time must be set correctly and the time synchronization service must be installed on

the host machine for IDP:timedatectl statusyum install ntpsystemctl enable ntpd.servicentpdate time.apple.com

· The unzip package must be installed on the machine:yum install unzip· Docker and Docker Compose must be installed on the machine.· A domain name must be associated with the machine (for example, your-idp-

domain.com)Creating Shibboleth IdPTo create, configure and start Shibboleth IDP, download and execute the install.sh script.Here's what the script does:

· downloads docker files for creating Shibboleth Idp images and containersfrom github,

· changes the default idptestbed.edu domain in the configuration files to the domainspecified when executing the script,

· adds access via the SAML protocol for the specified ONLYOFFICE SP domain,· specifies which attributes are required for ONLYOFFICE SP to issue information about

users from Shibboleth IDP (the Attribute Mapping setting),· creates and configures LDAP and creates users for issuing,· enables dynamic loading of metadata from ONLYOFFICE SP to Shibboleth IDP,· enables Shibboleth SLO, if necessary.1. Download the install.sh script:

curl -L https://bit.ly/3fwo5e6 -o install.sh

2. Make the script executable:chmod +x install.sh

3. Execute the script replacing parameters with your own ones:./install.sh -id your-idp-domain.com -sd myportal-address.com --no_sloScript parameters:· -id - a domain name of the current machine for Shibboleth IDP.· -sd - a domain name where ONLYOFFICE SP is deployed.· --no_slo - disables Single Logout in Shibboleth IDP (optional parameter).

4. Wait when Shibboleth IDP starts after executing the script.5. To verify that Shibboleth IDP started correctly, open the https://your-idp-

domain.com/idp/shibboleth link in your browser. An xml file should be displayed.6. Copy the https://{your_idp_domain}/idp/shibboleth link (e.g., https://your-idp-

domain.com/idp/shibboleth) and go to the ONLYOFFICE portal signing in as anadministrator. Open the Control Panel -> SSO page.

Configuring ONLYOFFICE SP1. Make sure that you are signed in as an Administrator to your ONLYOFFICE Control

Panel and click the SSO tab in the PORTAL SETTINGS section on the left sidebar.You can only register one enterprise Identity Provider for your organization on theONLYOFFICE portal.

2. Enable SSO using the Enable Single Sign-on Authentication switcher and paste thelink to the Shibboleth IdP into the URL to Idp Metadata XML field.

3. Press the button with the upward arrow to load the IdP metadata. The ONLYOFFICESP Settings form will be automatically filled in with your data from the ShibbolethIdP.As we disabled SLO when executing the install.sh script by specifying the --no_slo parameter, the IdP Single Logout Endpoint URL field will be empty.

4. Once the IdP metadata is loaded, two certificates will be added in the IdP Publiccertificates section. You'll also see the pop-up window with the following text:'Multiple Idp verification certificates are not supported. Please leave only Primarycertificate'.You need to delete the second certificate in the list and leave the first certificateonly, which is the primary certificate. Use the Delete link next to the second

certificate to remove it. If you do not remove the certificate, you'll not be able to savethe settings.

5. In the Custom login button caption field, you can enter any text instead of thedefault one (Single Sign-on). This text will be displayed on the button used to login tothe portal with the Single Sign-on service at the ONLYOFFICE authentication page.

6. Now you need to create self-signed certificates or add any other certificates in the SPCertificates section.Important!In the Use for list, choose the signing and encrypt option as your Shibboleth IdP isautomatically configured with the install.sh script to verify that data is digitally signedand encrypted.

7. In the Attribute Mapping section, set the correspondence of the fields in theONLYOFFICE People module to the user attributes which will be returned from theShibboleth IdP.

First Name urn:oid:2.5.4.42Last Name urn:oid:2.5.4.4Email urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.3Location urn:oid:2.5.4.7Title urn:oid:2.5.4.12Phone urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.41

In the Advanced Settings section, you can check the Hide auth page option to hidedefault authentication page and automatically redirect to SSO service.

8. Click the Save button.9. The ONLYOFFICE SP Metadata section should be opened.

10. Verify that our settings are publicly available by clicking the Download SP MetadataXML button. The XML file contents should be displayed.This xml file is usually used to configure Shibboleth IDP, but because the install.shscript enables DynamicHTTPMetadataProvider, we do not need to do that(Shibboleth IDP will download this xml file at the first request for the login).

Checking the work of the ONLYOFFICE SP with theShibboleth IdPThe install.sh script created 4 users which can be used for testing the work of the ONLYOFFICESP with the Shibboleth IdP.

address.com/Auth.aspx).2. Click the Single sign-on button (the caption may differ if you have specified your own

text when configuring ONLYOFFICE SP). If the button is missing, this means that SSO isnot enabled.

3. If all the SP and IdP parameters are set correctly, we will be redirected to the OneLoginIdP login form:

4. Enter the login and password of the user who has been granted access to theONLYOFFICE SP and click the LOG IN button.

5. If the credentials are correct, we will be redirected to the main page of the portal (theuser will be created automatically if missing, or the data will be updated if changed inthe IDP).

Logging out from ONLYOFFICE SP1. An SSO user can log out from the ONLYOFFICE portal using the Sign Outmenu. The

user should also be automatically logged out from the OneLogin IdP in case he/she islogged out from all other applications that he/she has been granted access to inOneLogin and that he/she previously signed in to.

2. If you signed out successfully, you will be redirected to the portal authentication page.3. If you click the Single Sign-on button once again, you will be redirected to the OneLogin

login page again (this means that you successfully logged out from the portal):

Profiles for users added with SSO authenticationThe possibility to edit user profiles created using the SSO authentication is restricted. The userprofile fields received from the IdP are disabled for editing (i.e. First Name, LastName, Email, Title and Location). You can edit these fields from your IdP account only.

The users created using the SSO authentication are marked with the SSO icon in the user list forthe portal administrators.

Configuring ONLYOFFICE SP and AD FS IdPIntroductionSingle Sign-on (SSO) is a technology that allows users to sign in only once and then get accessto multiple applications/services without re-authentication.example: If a web portal includes several large independent sections (forum, chat, blogs etc.), auser can undergo the authentication procedure within one of the services and automatically getaccess to all other services without entering credentials several times.SSO is always ensured by the joint operation of two applications: an Identity Provider and aService Provider (hereinafter referred to as "IdP" and "SP"). ONLYOFFICE SSO implementsthe SP only. A lot of different providers can act as an IdP, but this article considers the ActiveDirectory Federation Services (AD FS) implementation.If you want to use SSO when connecting ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors to your ONLYOFFICEWorkspace, disable Private Rooms in the Control Panel.System requirementsThe system requirements include the following software which has been tested and proved tobe working correctly with ONLYOFFICE SSO:

· Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2016;· AD FS version 3.0 or later.

Preparing ONLYOFFICE Workspace for the SSO setup1. Install ONLYOFFICE Workspace for Docker or any later version with the SSO support

(AD FS is supported starting from Community Server v9.5).2. Add a domain name, e.g., myportal-address.com.3. On your portal, go to the Control Panel -> HTTPS, create and apply

the letsencrypt certificate for the traffic encryption (to enable HTTPS on your portal).Preparing AD FS for the SSO setup

1. Install the latest AD DS (Active Directory Domain Service) version with all officialupdates and patches.

2. Install the latest AD FS version with all official updates and patches.3. Verify that the link to the AD FS metadata is publicly available. To do that,

1. In the Server Manager, open Tools -> AD FS Management,2. Go to AD FS \ Service \ Endpoints,3. Find the row with the Federation Metadata type in the table. The link to the

IdP metadata is constructed under the following scheme:https://{ad-fs-domain}/{path-to-FederationMetadata.xml}

Alternatively, you can use the following PowerShell command:PS C:\Users\Administrator> (Get-ADFSEndpoint | Where {$_.Protocol -eq"FederationMetadata" -or $_.Protocol -eq "FederationMetadata"}).FullUrl.ToString()

As a result you should get a link that looks like this:https://onlyofficevm.northeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml

4. To verify that AD FS has been started correctly, open the received link in a webbrowser. The xml should be displayed or downloaded. Copy the link to the metadataxml: it will be required at the next step.

Configuring ONLYOFFICE SP1. Make sure that you are signed in as an Administrator to your ONLYOFFICE Control

Panel and click the SSO tab in the PORTAL SETTINGS section on the left sidebar.You can only register one enterprise Identity Provider for your organization on theONLYOFFICE portal.

2. Enable SSO using the Enable Single Sign-on Authentication switcher and paste thelink copied from the AD FS into the URL to Idp Metadata XML field.Press the button with the upward arrow to load the IdP metadata. The ONLYOFFICE SPSettings form will be automatically filled in with your data from the AD FS IdP.

3. In the Custom login button caption field, you can enter any text instead of the defaultone (Single Sign-on). This text will be displayed on the button used to login to the portalwith the Single Sign-on service at the ONLYOFFICE authentication page.

4. In the NameID Format selector, choose the followingvalue: urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress.

5. In the IdP Public Certificates \ Advanced settings section, uncheck the Verify LogoutResponse Signature option, as AD FS does not require that by default.

6. Now you need to add certificates to the SP Certificates section. You can generate self-signed certificates or add any other certificates.in the New Certificate window, switch the Use for selector to the signing andencrypt option, as AD FS IdP is automatically configured to verify digital signatures andencrypt data.

7. In the SP Certificates \ Advanced settings, uncheck the Sign Logout Responses, as ADFS does not require that by default.

It is not necessary to adjust the Attribute Mapping form, as we will set theseparameters in the AD FS IdP later. In the Advanced Settings section, you can checkthe Hide auth page option to hide default authentication page and automaticallyredirect to SSO service.

8. Click the Save button. The ONLYOFFICE SP Metadata section should be opened.Verify that our settings are publicly available by clicking the Download SP MetadataXML button. The XML file contents should be displayed.

9. Copy the link to the ONLYOFFICE SP metadata from the SP Entity ID (link to metadataXML) field and go to the machine where AD FS is installed.

Configuring AD FS IdP1. In the Server Manager, open Tools -> AD FS Management,2. In the AD FS Management panel, select the Trust Relationships > Relying Party

Trusts. Click the Add Relying Party Trust... option on the right. The Add RelyingParty Trust Wizard opens,

3. In the wizard window, select the Import data about the relying party publishedonline or on a local network radio button, paste the previously copied link to theONLYOFFICE SP metadata into the Federation metadata address (host name orURL) field and click the Next button,

4. In the Display name field, specify any name and click the Next button,5. Select the I do not want to configure multi-factor authentication settings for

this relying party trust at this time option and click the Next button,6. Select the Permit all users to access this relying party option and click

the Next button,7. Check the resulting settings and click the Next button,8. Leave the default option unchanged and click the Close button,9. A new window opens. At the Issuance Transform Rules tab, click the Add

Rule... button,10. Select the Send LDAP Attributes as Claims option from the Claim rule

template list and click the Next button,11. Type in any name in the Claim rule name field. Select the Active Directory option

from the Attribute store list and fill in theMapping of LDAP attributes tooutgoing claim types form according to the table below. When ready, click Finish.

LDAP Attribute (Select or typeto add more) Outgoing Claim Type (Select or type to add more)Given-Name givenNameSurname sn

12. In the Edit Claim Rules window, click the Add Rule... button once again, selectthe Transform an Incoming Claim option from the Claim rule template list andclick the Next button,

13. Type in any name in the Claim rule name field and select the following options fromthe lists:

o Incoming claim type:mail,o Outgoing claim type: Name ID,o Outgoing name ID format: Email

When ready, click the Finish button.If logout from AD FS does not work, it's recommended to add a Custom Claim Rulereplacing {portal-domain} with your SP domain and changing {ad-fs-domain} to your IdPdomain:

c:[Type == "mail"]=> issue(Type ="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/nameidentifier", Issuer =c.Issuer, OriginalIssuer = c.OriginalIssuer, Value = c.Value, ValueType = c.ValueType,Properties["http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claimproperties/format"] ="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress",Properties["http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claimproperties/namequalifier"] = "http://{ad-fs-domain}/adfs/services/trust",Properties["http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claimproperties/spnamequalifier"] = "https://{portal-domain}/sso/metadata");

14. Click the OK button,15. So that SSO can work from the intranet you need to enable the Forms

Authentication option in the Edit Global Authentication Policy (contextualmenu AD FS / Authentication Policies),

16. Open the properties of the created relying party trust and switch tothe Advanced tab,Select the SHA-1 option in the Secure hash algorithm list.

The Text Wrapping tab contains the following parameters:· Wrapping Style - use this option to change the way the shape is positioned relative to

the text: it will either be a part of the text (in case you select the inline style) or bypassedby it from all sides (if you select one of the other styles).

o Inline - the shape is considered to be a part of the text, like a character,so when the text moves, the shape moves as well. In this case the positioningoptions are inaccessible.

o If one of the following styles is selected, the shape can be moved independentlyof the text and positioned on the page exactly:

o Square - the text wraps the rectangular box that bounds the shape.o Tight - the text wraps the actual shape edges.o Through - the text wraps around the shape edges and fills in the open

white space within the shape. So that the effect can appear, use the Edit WrapBoundary option from the right-click menu.

o Top and bottom - the text is only above and below the shape.

o In front - the shape overlaps the text.o Behind - the text overlaps the shape.

If you select the square, tight, through, or top and bottom styles, you will be able to set upsome additional parameters - distance from text at all sides (top, bottom, left, right).

Mail mergeUse Mail MergeNote: this option is available in the online version only.TheMail Merge feature is used to create a set of documents combining a common contentwhich is taken from a text document and some individual components (variables, such asnames, greetings etc.) taken from a spreadsheet (for example, a customer list). It can be usefulif you need to create a lot of personalized letters and send them to recipients.To start working with theMail Merge feature,1. Prepare a data source and load it to the main document

1. A data source used for the mail merge must be an .xlsx spreadsheet stored onyour portal. Open an existing spreadsheet or create a new one and make surethat it meets the following requirements.The spreadsheet should have a header row with the column titles, as values inthe first cell of each column will designate merge fields (i.e. variables that youcan insert into the text). Each column should contain a set of actual values for avariable. Each row in the spreadsheet should correspond to a separate record(i.e. a set of values that belongs to a certain recipient). During the merge process,a copy of the main document will be created for each record and each mergefield inserted into the main text will be replaced with an actual value from thecorresponding column. If you are goung to send results by email, thespreadsheet must also include a column with the recipients' email addresses.

2. Open an existing text document or create a new one. It must contain the maintext which will be the same for each version of the merged document. ClicktheMail Merge icon on the Home tab of the top toolbar.

3. The Select Data Source window will open. It displays the list of allyour .xlsx spreadsheets stored in theMy Documents section. To navigatebetween other Documentsmodule sections, use the menu on the left part ofthe window. Select the required file and click OK.

Once the data source is loaded, theMail Merge setting tab will be available on the rightsidebar.

2. Verify or change the recipients list1. Click the Edit recipients list button on the top of the right sidebar to open

theMail Merge Recipients window, where the content of the selected datasource is displayed.

2. In the opened window, you can add new information, edit or delete the existingdata if necessary. To simplify working with data, you can use the icons at the topof the window:

· and - to copy and paste the copied data· and - to undo and redo undone actions· and - to sort your data within a selected range of cells in ascending or

descending order

· - to enable the filter for the previously selected range of cells or to remove theapplied filter

· - to clear all the applied filter parametersNote: to learn more on how to use the filter, please refer to the Sort and filterdata section of the Spreadsheet Editor help.

· - to search for a certain value and replace it with another one, if necessaryNote: to learn more on how to use the Find and Replace tool, please refer tothe Search and Replace Functions section of the Spreadsheet Editor help.

3. After all the necessary changes are made, click the Save & Exit button. Todiscard the changes, click the Close button

3. Insert merge fields and check the results1. Place the mouse cursor where the merge field should be inserted, click

the Insert Merge Field button on the right sidebar and select the necessary fieldfrom the list. The available fields correspond to the data in the first cell of eachcolumn of the selected data source. All the required fields can be addedanywhere.

2. Turn on the Highlight merge fields switcher on the right sidebar to make theinserted fields more noticeable in the text.

3. Turn on the Preview results switcher on the right sidebar to view the text withthe merge fields replaced with actual values from the data source. Use the arrowbuttons to preview the versions of the merged document for each record.

· To delete an inserted field, disable the Preview resultsmode, select the fieldwith the mouse and press the Delete key on the keyboard.

· To replace an inserted field, disable the Preview resultsmode, select the fieldwith the mouse, click the Insert Merge Field button on the right sidebar andchoose a new field from the list.

4. Specify the merge parameters1. Select the merge type. You can start mass mailing or save the result as a PDF or

Docx file to print or edit it later. Select the necessary option from theMergeto list:

· PDF - to create a single PDF document that includes all the merged copies thatcan be printed later

· Docx - to create a single Docx document that includes all the merged copies thatcan be edited individually later

· Email - to send the results to recipients by emailNote: the recipients' email addresses must be specified in the loaded data source andyou need to have at least one email account connected in theMailmodule on yourportal.

2. Choose all the required records to be applied:· All records (this option is selected by default) - to create merged documents for

all records from the loaded data source· Current record - to create a merged document for the record that is currently

displayed

· From ... To - to create merged documents for a range of records (in this case youneed to specify two values: the number of the first record and the last record inthe desired range)Note: the maximum allowed quantity of recipients is 100. If you have more than100 recipients in your data source, please, perform the mail merge by stages:specify the values from 1 to 100, wait until the mail merge process is over, thenrepeat the operation specifying the values from 101 to N etc.

3. Complete the merge· If you've decided to save the merge results as a file,

Math equationsInsert equationsThe Document Editor allows you to build equations using the built-in templates, edit them,insert special characters (including mathematical operators, Greek letters, accents, etc.).Add a new equationTo insert an equation from the gallery,1. put the cursor within the necessary line ,2. switch to the Insert tab of the top toolbar,3. click the arrow next to the Equation icon on the top toolbar,4. in the opened drop-down list select the equation category you need. The following

categories are currently available: Symbols, Fractions, Scripts, Radicals, Integrals, LargeOperators, Brackets, Functions, Accents, Limits and Logarithms, Operators, Matrices,

5. click the certain symbol/equation in the corresponding set of templates.The selected symbol/equation box will be inserted at the cursor position. If the selected line isempty, the equation will be centered. To align such an equation to the left or to the right, clickon the equation box and use the or icon on the Home tab of the top toolbar.

Each equation template represents a set of slots. A slot is a position for each element thatmakes up the equation. An empty slot (also called as a placeholder) has a dotted outline . Youneed to fill in all the placeholders specifying the necessary values.Note: to start creating an equation, you can also use the Alt + = keyboard shortcut.

Enter valuesThe insertion point specifies where the next character will appear. To position the insertionpoint precisely, click within the placeholder and use the keyboard arrows to move the insertionpoint by one character left/right or one line up/down.If you need to create a new placeholder below the slot with the insertion point within theselected template, press Enter.

Once the insertion point is positioned, you can fill in the placeholder:· enter the desired numeric/literal value using the keyboard,· insert a special character using the Symbols palette from the Equationmenu on

the Insert tab of the top toolbar or typing them from the keyboard (see the MathAutoСorrect option description),

· add another equation template from the palette to create a complex nested equation.The size of the primary equation will be automatically adjusted to fit its content. The sizeof the nested equation elements depends on the primary equation placeholder size, butit cannot be smaller than the sub-subscript size.

To add some new equation elements you can also use the right-click menu options:· To add a new argument that goes before or after the existing one within Brackets, you

can right-click on the existing argument and select the Insert argumentbefore/after option from the menu.

· To add a new equation within Cases with several conditions from the Brackets group (orequations of other types, if you've previously added new placeholders bypressing Enter), you can right-click on an empty placeholder or entered equation withinit and select the Insert equation before/after option from the menu.

· To add a new row or a column in a Matrix, you can right-click on a placeholder within it,select the Insert option from the menu, then select Row Above/Below or ColumnLeft/Right.

Note: currently, equations cannot be entered using the linear format, i.e. \sqrt(4&x^3).When entering the values of the mathematical expressions, you do not need touse Spacebar as the spaces between the characters and signs of operations are setautomatically.

If the equation is too long and does not fit a single line, automatic line breaking occurs whiletyping. You can also insert a line break in a specific position by right-clicking on a mathematicaloperator and selecting the Insert manual break option from the menu. The selected operatorwill start a new line. Once the manual line break is added, you can press the Tab key to alignthe new line to any math operator of the previous line. To delete the added manual line break,right-click on the mathematical operator that starts a new line and select the Delete manualbreak option.Format equationsTo increase or decrease the equation font size, click anywhere within the equation box and usethe and buttons on the Home tab of the top toolbar or select the necessary font sizefrom the list. All the equation elements will change correspondingly.The letters within the equation are italicized by default. If necessary, you can change the fontstyle (bold, italic, strikeout) or color for a whole equation or its part. The underlined style can beapplied to the entire equation only, not to individual characters. Select the necessary part of theequation by clicking and dragging it. The selected part will be highlighted in blue. Then use thenecessary buttons on the Home tab of the top toolbar to format the selected part. Forexample, you can remove the italic format for ordinary words that are not variables orconstants.

To modify some equation elements, you can also use the right-click menu options:· To change the Fractions format, you can right-click on a fraction and select the Change

to skewed/linear/stacked fraction option from the menu (the available options differdepending on the selected fraction type).

· To change the Scripts position relating to text, you can right-click on the equation thatincludes scripts and select the Scripts before/after text option from the menu.

If you want to restore the removed data right after deletion, use the Undo icon on the toptoolbar or the Ctrl+Z key combination.

Conditional FormattingNote: the ONLYOFFICE Spreadsheet Editor currently does not support creating and editingconditional formatting rules.Conditional formatting allows you to apply various formatting styles (color, font, decoration,gradient) to cells to work with data on the spreadsheet: highlight or sort through and displaythe data that meets the needed criteria. The criteria are defined by several rule types. TheONLYOFFICE Spreadsheet Editor currently does not support creating and editing conditionalformatting rules.Rule types supported in the ONLYOFFICE Spreadsheet Editor View mode are cell value(+formula), top/bottom and above/below average value, unique valuesand duplicates, icon sets, data bars, gradient (color scale), and formula-based rules.

· Cell value is used to find needed numbers, dates, and text within the spreadsheet. Forexample, you need to see sales for the current month (pink highlight), products named“Grain” (yellow highlight), and product sales amounting to less than $500 (bluehighlight).

· Cell value with formula is used to display a dynamically changed number or text valuewithin the spreadsheet. For example, you need to find products named “Grain”,“Produce”, or “Dairy” (yellow highlight), or product sales amounting to a value between$100 and $500 (blue highlight).

· Top and bottom value / Above and below average value is used to find and displaythe top and bottom values as well as above and below average values within thespreadsheet. For example, you need to see top values for fees in the cities you visited(orange highlight), the cities where the attendance was above average (green highlight),and bottom values for cities where you sold a small number of books (blue highlight).

· Unique / Duplicates is used to display duplicate values within the spreadsheet and thecell range defined by the conditional formatting. For example, you need to find duplicatecontacts. Enter the drop-down menu. The number of duplicates is shown to the right ofthe contact name. If you check the box, only the duplicates will be shown on the list.

· Icon set is used to show the data by displaying a corresponding icon in the cell thatmeets the criteria. The Spreadsheet Editor supports various icon sets. Below you willfind examples for the most common icon set conditional formatting cases.

o Instead of numbers and percent values, you see formatted cells withcorresponding arrows showing you revenue achievement in the “Status” columnand the dynamics for trends in the future in the “Trend” column.

o Instead of cells with rating numbers ranging from 1 to 5, the conditionalformatting tool displays corresponding icons from the legend map at the top foreach bike in the rating list.

o Instead of manually comparing monthly profit dynamics data, the formatted cellshave a corresponding red or green arrow.

o Use the traffic lights system (red, yellow, and green circles) to visualize salesdynamics.

· Data bars are used to compare values in the form of a diagram bar. For example,compare mountain heights by displaying their default value in meters (green bar) andthe same value in 0 to 100 percent range (yellow bar); percentile when extreme valuesslant the data (light blue bar); bars only instead of numbers (blue bar); two-column dataanalysis to see both numbers and bars (red bar).

· Gradient, or color scale, is used to highlight values within the spreadsheet through agradient scale. The columns from “Dairy” through “Beverage” display data via a two-colorscale with variation from yellow to red; the “Total Sales” column displays data via athree-color scale from the smallest amount in red to the largest amount in blue.

· Formula-based formatting uses various formulas to filter data as per specific needs. Forexample, you can shade alternate rows,

compare with a reference value (here it is $55), and show if it is higher (green) or lower(red),

highlight the rows that meet the needed criteria (see what goals you shall achieve thismonth, in this case, it is October),

and highlight unique rows only

Data validationThe ONLYOFFICE Spreadsheet Editor offers a data validation feature that controls theparameters of the information entered in cells by users.

To access the data validation feature, choose a cell, a range of cells, or a whole spreadsheet youwant to apply the feature to, open the Data tab, and click the Data Validation icon on the toptoolbar.

Use named rangesNames are meaningful notations that can be assigned to a cell or cell range and used tosimplify working with formulas. Creating a formula, you can insert a name as its argumentinstead of using a reference to a cell range. For example, if you assign the Annual_Income nameto a cell range, it will be possible to enter =SUM(Annual_Income) instead of =SUM(B1:B12). Thus,formulas become clearer. This feature can also be useful in case a lot of formulas are referredto one and the same cell range. If the range address is changed, you can make the correctiononce by using the Name Manager instead of editing all the formulas one by one.There are two types of names that can be used:

· Defined name – an arbitrary name that you can specify for a certain cell range. Definednames also include the names created automatically when setting up print areas.

· Table name – a default name that is automatically assigned to a new formattedtable (Table1, Table2 etc.). You can edit this name later.

If you have created a slicer for a formatted table, an automatically assigned slicer name will alsobe displayed in the Name Manager (Slicer_Column1, Slicer_Column2 etc. This name consists ofthe Slicer_ part and the field name corresponding to the column header from the source dataset). You can edit this name later.Names are also classified by Scope, i.e. the location where a name is recognized. A name canbe scoped to the whole workbook (it will be recognized for any worksheet within this workbook)or to a separate worksheet (it will be recognized for the specified worksheet only). Each namemust be unique within a single scope, the same names can be used within different scopes.Create new namesTo create a new defined name for a selection:1. Select a cell or cell range you want to assign a name to.2. Open a new name window in a suitable way:

· Right-click the selection and choose the Define Name option from thecontextual menu,

· or click the Named ranges icon on the Home tab of the top toolbar andselect the Define Name option from the menu.

· or click the Named ranges button on the Formula tab of the top toolbarand select the Name manager option from the menu. Choose option New inthe opened window.

The New Name window will open:

3. Enter the necessary Name in the text entry field.Note: a name cannot start with a number, contain spaces or punctuation marks.Underscores (_) are allowed. Case does not matter.

4. Specify the name Scope. The Workbook scope is selected by default, but you can specifyan individual worksheet selecting it from the list.

5. Check the selected Data Range address. If necessary, you can change it. Clickthe icon - the Select Data Range window will open.

Change the link to the cell range in the entry field or select a new range on theworksheet with the mouse and click OK.

6. Click OK to save the new name.To quickly create a new name for the selected cell range, you can also enter the desired nameinto the name box located to the left of the the formula bar and press Enter. The name createdin such a way is scoped to the Workbook.

Manage namesAll the existing names can be accessed via the Name Manager. To open it:

· click the Named ranges icon on the Home tab of the top toolbar and selectthe Name manager option from the menu,

· or click the arrow in the name field and select the Name Manager option.The Name Manager window will open:

For your convenience, you can filter the names selecting the name category you want to bedisplayed: All, Defined names, Table names, Names Scoped to Sheet or Names Scoped toWorkbook. The names that belong to the selected category will be displayed in the list, theother names will be hidden.To change the sort order for the displayed list, you can click on the NamedRanges or Scope titles in this window.To edit a name, select it in the list and click the Edit button. The Edit Name window will open:

For a defined name, you can change the name and the data range it refers to. For a table name,you can change the name only. When all the necessary changes are made, click OK to applythem. To discard the changes, click Cancel. If the edited name is used in a formula, the formulawill be automatically changed accordingly.To delete a name, select it in the list and click the Delete button.

Note: if you delete the name that is used in a formula, the formula will no longer work (it willreturn the #NAME? error).You can also create a new name in the Name Manager window by clicking the New button.Use names when working with the spreadsheetTo quickly navigate through cell ranges, you can click the arrow in the name box and selectthe necessary name from the name list – the data range that corresponds to this name will beselected in the worksheet.

Note: the name list displays the defined names and table names scoped to the currentworksheet and to the whole workbook.To add a name as an argument of a formula:1. Place the insertion point where you need to add a name.

1. Make one of the following steps:· enter the name of the necessary named range manually using the keyboard.

Once you type the initial letters, the Formula Autocomplete list will bedisplayed. As you type, the items (formulas and names) that match the enteredcharacters are displayed in it. You can select the necessary definedname or table name from the list and insert it into the formula by double-clicking it or pressing the Tab key.

· or click the Named ranges icon on the Home tab of the top toolbar, selectthe Paste name option from the menu, choose the necessary name fromthe Paste Name window and click OK:

Note: the Paste Name window displays the defined names and table names scoped to thecurrent worksheet and to the whole workbook.To use a name as an internal hyperlink:1.

· The Label Options section allows adjusting the appearance of major tick mark labelswhich display values. To specify a Label Position in regard to the vertical axis, select thenecessary option from the drop-down list:

o None to not display tick mark labels,o Low to display tick mark labels to the left of the plot area,o High to display tick mark labels to the right of the plot area,o Next to axis to display tick mark labels next to the axis.o To specify a Label Format click the Label Format button and choose a category

as it deems appropriate.Available label format categories:

· General· Number· Scientific· Accounting· Currency· Date· Time· Percentage· Fraction

· Text· Custom

Label format options vary depending on the selected category.o Check Linked to source to keep number formatting from the data source in the

chart.

Note: Secondary axes are supported in Combo charts only.Secondary axes are useful in Combo charts when data series vary considerably or mixed typesof data are used to plot a chart. Secondary Axes make it easier to read and understand acombo chart.The Secondary Vertical /Horizontal Axis tab appears when you choose an appropriate dataseries for a combo chart. All the settings and options on the Secondary Vertical/HorizontalAxis tab are the same as the settings on the Vertical/Horizontal Axis. For a detailed descriptionof the Vertical/Horizontal Axis options, see description above/below.

The Horizontal Axis tab allows you to change the parameters of the horizontal axis alsoreferred to as the categories axis or x-axis which displays text labels. Note that the horizontalaxis will be the value axis which displays numeric values for the Bar charts, therefore in thiscase the Horizontal Axis tab options will correspond to the ones described in the previoussection. For the XY (Scatter) charts, both axes are value axes.

· select Hide to hide horizontal axis in the chart, leave it unchecked to have horizontalaxis displayed.

· specify Title orientation by selecting the necessary option from the drop-down list:o None when you don’t want to display a horizontal axis title,o No Overlay to display the title below the horizontal axis,

· Axis Crosses - is used to specify a point on the horizontal axis where the vertical axisshould cross it. The Auto option is selected by default, in this case the axesintersection point value is calculated automatically depending on the selected datarange. You can select the Value option from the drop-down list and specify adifferent value in the entry field on the right, or set the axes intersection point at

theMinimum/Maximum Value (that corresponds to the first and last category) onthe horizontal axis.

· Axis Position - is used to specify where the axis text labels should be placed: On TickMarks or Between Tick Marks.

· Values in reverse order - is used to display categories in the opposite direction.When the box is unchecked, categories are displayed from left to right. When the boxis checked, the categories are ordered from right to left.

· The Tick Options section allows adjusting the appearance of tick marks on thehorizontal scale. Major tick marks are the larger divisions which can have labelsdisplaying category values. Minor tick marks are the smaller divisions which areplaced between the major tick marks and have no labels. Tick marks also definewhere gridlines can be displayed if the corresponding option is set onthe Layout tab. You can adjust the following tick mark parameters:

o Major/Minor Type - is used to specify the following placementoptions: None to not display major/minor tick marks, Cross to displaymajor/minor tick marks on both sides of the axis, In to display major/minortick marks inside the axis, Out to display major/minor tick marks outside theaxis.

o Interval between Marks - is used to specify how many categories should bedisplayed between two adjacent tick marks.

the chart.The Cell Snapping tab contains the following parameters:

· Move and size with cells - this option allows you to snap the chart to the cell behind it.If the cell moves (e.g. if you insert or delete some rows/columns), the chart will bemoved together with the cell. If you increase or decrease the width or height of the cell,the chart will change its size as well.

· Move but don't size with cells - this option allows to snap the chart to the cell behind itpreventing the chart from being resized. If the cell moves, the chart will be movedtogether with the cell, but if you change the cell size, the chart dimensions remainunchanged.

· Don't move or size with cells - this option allows to prevent the chart from beingmoved or resized if the cell position or size was changed.

The Alternative Text tab allows to specify the Title and the Description which will be read topeople with vision or cognitive impairments to help them better understand what informationthe chart contains.

Edit sparklinesSparkline is a little chart that fits in one cell. Sparklines can be useful if you want to visuallyrepresent information for each row or column in large data sets. This makes it easier to showtrends in multiple data series.If your spreadsheet already contains sparklines created with another application, you canchange the sparkline properties. To do that, select the cell that contains a sparkline with themouse and click the Chart settings icon on the right sidebar. If the selected sparkline isincluded into a sparkline group, the changes will be applied to all sparklines in the group.

· Use the Type drop-down list to select one of the available sparkline types:o Column - this type is similar to a regular Column Chart.o Line - this type is similar to a regular Line Chart.o Win/Loss - this type is suitable for representing data that include both positive

and negative values.· In the Style section, you can do the following:

o select the style which suits you best from the Template drop-down list.o choose the necessary Color for the sparkline.o choose the necessary Line Weight (available for the Line type only).

· The Show section allows you to select which sparkline elements you want to highlight tomake them clearly visible. Check the box to the left of the element to be highlighted andselect the necessary color by clicking the colored box:

o High Point - to highlight points that represent maximum values,o Low Point - to highlight points that represent minimum values,o Negative Point - to highlight points that represent negative values,o First/Last Point - to highlight the point that represents the first/last value,o Markers (available for the Line type only) - to highlight all values.

Click the Show advanced settings link situated on the right-side panel to open the Sparkline -Advanced Settings window.

The Type & Data tab allows you to change the sparkline Type and Style as well as specifythe Hidden and Empty cells display settings:

· Show empty cells as - this option allows you to control how sparklines are displayed ifsome cells in a data range are empty. Select the necessary option from the list:

o Gaps - to display the sparkline with gaps in place of missing data,o Zero - to display the sparkline as if the value in an empty cell was zero,

o Connect data points with line (available for the Line type only) - to ignoreempty cells and display a connecting line between data points.

· Show data in hidden rows and columns - check this box if you want to include valuesfrom the hidden cells into sparklines.

The Axis Options tab allows you to specify the following Horizontal/Vertical Axis parameters:· In the Horizontal Axis section, the following parameters are available:

o Show axis - check this box to display the horizontal axis. If the source datacontain negative values, this option helps to display them more vividly.

o Reverse order - check this box to display data in the reverse sequence.· In the Vertical Axis section, the following parameters are available:

o Minimum/Maximum Value§ Auto for Each - this option is selected by default. It allows you to use own

minimum/maximum values for each sparkline. The minimum/maximumvalues are taken from the separate data series that are used to plot eachsparkline. The maximum value for each sparkline will be located at thetop of the cell, and the minimum value will be at the bottom.

§ Same for All - this option allows you to use the sameminimum/maximum value for the entire sparkline group. Theminimum/maximum values are taken from the whole data range that isused to plot the sparkline group. The maximum/minimum values foreach sparkline will be scaled relative to the highest/lowest value withinthe range. If you select this option, it will be easier to compare severalsparklines.

§ Fixed - this option allows you to set a custom minimum/maximum value.The values which are lower or higher than the specified ones are notdisplayed in the sparklines.

Math equationsInsert equationsThe Presentation Editor allows you to create equations using the built-in templates, edit them,insert special characters (including mathematical operators, Greek letters, accents, etc.).Add a new equationTo insert an equation from the gallery,1. switch to the Insert tab of the top toolbar,2. click the arrow next to the Equation icon on the top toolbar,3. in the opened drop-down list select the equation category you need. The following

categories are currently available: Symbols, Fractions, Scripts, Radicals, Integrals, LargeOperators, Brackets, Functions, Accents, Limits and Logarithms, Operators, Matrices,

4. click the certain symbol/equation in the corresponding set of templates.The selected symbol/equation box will be inserted in the center of the current slide.

If you do not see the equation box border, click anywhere within the equation - the border willbe displayed as a dashed line. The equation box can be freelymoved, resized or rotated onthe slide. To do that, click on the equation box border (it will be displayed as a solid line) anduse the corresponding handles.

Each equation template represents a set of slots. A slot is a position for each element thatmakes up the equation. An empty slot (also called as a placeholder) has a dotted outline .You need to fill in all the placeholders specifying the necessary values.

Enter valuesThe insertion point specifies where the next character you enter will appear. To position theinsertion point precisely, click within a placeholder and use the keyboard arrows to move theinsertion point one character left/right.

Once the insertion point is positioned, you can fill in the placeholder:· enter the desired numeric/literal value using the keyboard,· insert a special character using the Symbols palette from the Equationmenu on

the Insert tab of the top toolbar or typing them from the keyboard (see theMathAutoСorrect option description),

· add another equation template from the palette to create a complex nested equation.The size of the primary equation will be automatically adjusted to fit its content. The sizeof the nested equation elements depends on the primary equation placeholder size, butit cannot be smaller than the sub-subscript size.

To add some new equation elements, you can also use the right-click menu options:· To add a new argument that goes before or after the existing one within Brackets, you

can right-click on the existing argument and select the Insert argumentbefore/after option from the menu.

· To add a new equation within Cases with several conditions from the Brackets group, youcan right-click on an empty placeholder or entered equation within it and selectthe Insert equation before/after option from the menu.

· To add a new row or a column in a Matrix, you can right-click on a placeholder within it,select the Insert option from the menu, then select Row Above/Below or ColumnLeft/Right.

Note: currently, equations cannot be entered using the linear format, i.e. \sqrt(4&x^3).When entering the values of mathematical expressions, you do not need touse Spacebar because spaces between the characters and signs of operations are setautomatically.If the equation is too long and does not fit to a single line within the text box, automatic linebreaking appears while you are typing. You can also insert a line break in a specific position by

right-clicking on a mathematical operator and selecting the Insert manual break option fromthe menu. The selected operator will start a new line. To delete the added manual line break,right-click on the mathematical operator that starts a new line and select the Delete manualbreak option.Format equationsBy default, the equation within the text box is horizontally centered and vertically aligned to thetop of the text box. To change its horizontal/vertical alignment, put the cursor within the theequation box (the text box borders will be displayed as dashed lines) and usethe corresponding icons on the Home tab of the top toolbar.To increase or decrease the equation font size, click anywhere within the equation box andselect the necessary font size from the list on the Home tab of the top toolbar. All the equationelements will change correspondingly.The letters within the equation are italicized by default. If necessary, you can change the fontstyle (bold, italic, strikeout) or color for a whole equation or its part. The underlined style can beapplied to the entire equation only, not to individual characters. Select the necessary part of theequation by clicking and dragging. The selected part will be highlighted blue. Then use thenecessary buttons on the Home tab of the top toolbar to format the selection. For example,you can remove the italic format for ordinary words that are not variables or constants.
