Outlook Sidebar
The Outlook Sidebar is available when the Desktop Integration Package is installed on your computer (see Desktop Integration Package).
Notes:
-
The Coveo Sidebar can be integrated in Outlook 2007, 2010, 2013 (Coveo .NET Front-End 12.0.235+ (June 2013)), and 2016 (Coveo .NET Front-End 12.0.1646+ (December 2015)).
-
The availability of the .NET or JavaScript (Desktop Integration Package 12.0.1840+ (June 2016)) search interfaces and the basic appearance of the Outlook Sidebar depend on the configuration of the system that your Coveo administrator has defined.
-
The Desktop Integration Package currently does not support screen resolutions above 1920 x 1080 in which case the Outlook Sidebar appears too small.
There are two main ways to use the Outlook Sidebar:
-
To quickly get information related to the currently selected email in Outlook. This email can be located in your Inbox, in any subfolder, or even in an archive (.pst file).
-
To search through interfaces (email messages, contacts, files, etc.) using specific keywords.
