Installation Guide for End Users

Since the Dynamo for Office add-in is an extension for MS Office, it needs to be added individually in each end-user's Office application. To start the process, the user needs to be logged in to Office 365 when the Office application opens.

Inserting the add-in to any Office application (Word, Excel or PowerPoint) will enable it also for other Office applications.

Prerequisite

Every user needs to have API enabled in their Salesforce user profile.
