How to install the Gplus Adapter

Steps to install or update the Gplus Adapter in ServiceNow.

We assume that ServiceNow has been configured with the OpenFrame plugin and that you own a ServiceNow login with administrator privileges.

This section explains how to install the Gplus Adapter for ServiceNow and consists of two main steps:

• Deploy the Adapter Web Resources in ServiceNow,
• Enable the OpenFrame menu in ServiceNow.
