The first time you wish to use the Excel Add-in, you need to input your [[SmartSimple]] [[Username|username]] and [[Password|password]].

If you have previously installed [[SmartDoc for Microsoft Word Overview|SmartDoc for Microsoft Word]], then your [[User|user]] setting will already be established.

==Setting the user options==

1. Click the '''SmartSimple Settings''' button.

You use this window to set the following settings:

* [[Username]] - The same name you use to log into [[SmartSimple]] using a Web [[Browser]].
* [[Password]] - Your normal [[SmartSimple]] password.
* Using [[SSL]] (port 443) - Select this option if your company is using Secure Socket Layers ([[SSL]]) to connect to [[SmartSimple]].  If in doubt, consult your [[Administrator|administrator]].
* [[Alias]] - Your organization's [[SmartSimple]] "entry point"
* HTTP Port - Defines the communications port used in your copy of [[SmartSimple]].  Normally this will be '''Port 80'''.  Check with your [[Administrator|administrator]] if this port does not work.  You don't need to change this setting if you use [[SSL]].
* [[SmartSimple]] [[URL]] - The [[Alias|alias]] is your organization's [[SmartSimple]] "entry point" (i.e. for ACME it would be acme.smartsimple.com).  Do not use a www or http:// prefix.
Resume Processing
* Document Merging - Choose the option required for both resume processing and document merging.  Select both check boxes.
