DEPOSITING RESEARCH
→ PLUG-IN BUTTONS

 PLUG-INS, as defined by Tamale RMS, are clickable buttons that reside in the toolbar of another application or program, to enable the launch of a Note dialog.

Tamale RMS must be open for plug-in buttons in other applications to work.

 

Applications programmed for Tamale plug-ins include MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, Internet Explorer; and Adobe Acrobat and Reader.
