SharePoint: Browser Setup Instructions
 
 

This section helps you with configuring your system for better integration with our SharePoint extranet server which hosts all our projects.

Please follow this short setup procedure first before accessing them:

1. Use MS Internet Explorer or Netscape

Web sites based on Windows SharePoint Services work best with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later, installed on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows 2000 or later. If you are using another Web browser or operating system, some pages may not display properly, and some features may not work.

 If you don't have IE in your system yet, install it from this Microsoft site first. You may also use other browsers (Firefox, etc.) but the interface and operations will be less user-friendly.

2. Add us to your Trusted Sites

(You may wish to print this instruction, for ease of reference.)

In Microsoft Internet Explorer (your Internet browser), in the Tools menu, click Internet Options and then the Security tab.

In the Select a Web content zone to specify its security settings box, click Trusted sites and then click Sites:


In the Add this Web site to the zone box, type in the address of our website, which will include the subweb with our SharePoint extranet, as follows:

abovetranslations.com

and then click Add and OK.

Note: You may need to uncheck the Require server authentication... box first (see the picture above).

3. Log in to our SharePoint extranet

Navigate to the address provided in the email - http://project.abovetranslations.com/above (click this link). If the first one doesn't work, click this alternative link (it uses a different authentication protocol, which should work with most Internet connections and browsers).
You should be asked for your credentials:

Enter the login and password provided by us, and mark the Remember password checkbox, so that you are not asked about them again by IE.

Note: Other programs (MS Office suite) may also ask you to enter them again when you use these programs for the first time.


The system is intuitive (we hope), so you can use it right away to download or preview our project files.

To process them properly, however, please read the Detailed SharePoint Instructions section on our extranet to learn more.

We hope you will enjoy collaborating with us!
