Getting Started |
Projectricity is delivered
over a network connection as a Java applet, rather than as HTML, which provides a much
richer and better performing interface than the typical web-page and is well
suited for enterprise level use. As a result, there is a one-time download
required for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) plug-in, which runs the Java applet
locally from your browser. This is followed by a one-time download of a
generic Java applet, which controls application execution between your browser
and our demonstration servers. This same approach is used when installed
in your network.
The end result is a
business-grade solution that runs so well you’d think you’re using a locally
installed application, not something running over the internet!
First Time Use (Projectricity Demonstration System)
-
When you click the “LOGIN” link for the first time
located on the upper right area on the Projectricity home page (www.projectricity.com), a
download of the JVM will begin automatically. This is a large file, but
downloads in under 5 minutes for most business grade internet connections (up
to 25 minutes over a dial-up) and is only necessary to do one time.
-
Once the JVM has been downloaded, the installation of
the JVM will then begin automatically. This JVM is the Sun JVM with some
enhancements made by Oracle Corporation and is called “Jinitiator.” You will
be prompted to install the plug-in in the same way you would install other
software via an install wizard. Simply keep clicking the “Next” or “Continue” buttons as the
defaults should be sufficient for most environments. Feel free to
change to install location if desired.
-
When the JVM has been successfully installed, the
generic applet will then download automatically. This should only take a
minute or two (up to 5 minutes or so via dial-up). The generic applet
coordinates execution and display of the various application modules that
comprise the system. This applet will be cached on the client machine, so
should not require a download again.
-
After the applet has been downloaded, then Projectricity
will be launched and a login screen will appear. At this point, you will need
to supply your username, password and client ID. You should have been given
these by the Projectricity admin user from your company, or from a
Projectricity representative.
-
After correctly entering your username, password and
client ID, the main Projectricity screen will appear from which you can begin
using all the tools you have been authorized for.
Second and Subsequent Uses
For subsequent uses of Projectricity, all you must do is
simply point your browser to
www.projectricity.com and click the "LOGIN" link to login to the application. The
generic applet you have previously downloaded should initialize and in a few
moments, the login screen will appear.
