User Settings
In Office 4, the directories including registered files are created under the install directory, which is selected during installation. You can save Office under the D drive if you select it in the installation process.
Follow these steps:
- Choose "D:\\cb4"(for example)" as the destination folder from Choose Destination Location during installation.
- After installation, set up a virtual directory on the web server.
For example: D:\\cb4
- Virtual directory/cybozu
- You cannot use /cb4 as the virtual directory name (alias).
Check if it runs properly.
- Access the following URL: http://(IP or host name of server)/cybozu/office.exe?
- Determine if "/cybozu" is an alias set up in the virtual directory of the web server.
If you install multiple Office products/applications in the same directory, please use the same version and the same number of users for all products/applications. However, the exact same application cannot be installed in the same directory, even with the same version and the same number of users.
If you use different versions or applications with a different number of users, please use different directories. In this situation, the applications installed in different directories cannot be synchronized or merged.
If you install archives of Cybozu Office Japanese version and English version in the same directory, the data may not be reflected to both properly. We do not support any troubleshooting caused by this situation. Please use separate install directories.
The file lock feature may be turned on while another user is editing the file. Office 4 automatically turns on this function when a user accesses a file. Please wait until the other user is finished editing the file.
Currently, we offer the following eight designs for the Portal.
- Cybozu Blue
- Classic Style

- Ocean Palette
- .JP Flavor
Without logging in (i.e. you are a Guest User), you can use the following applications:

This is because all access permissions (browse/register/modify) are given to Guest Users as a default setting.
To use the other applications, a login will be required.
If you want to administer a permission, change the setup from within each application.
