- For a typical network installation, where there is a dedicated server and end users perform their work on typical workstations, install the Admin module first, followed by the workstation module:
- For other situations:
Modules
- Workpaper Management
- This is the module used for normal workstations, like laptops or desktop computers. As listed in the system requirements, it requires an SQL instance and Microsoft Office to be installed before the application can be installed.
- Administrator
- This is the server module for the application. It requires an SQL instance to be installed but does not require Microsoft Office. This stores the database information as well as all workpaper files for each binder synchronized to a central file room. Admin users can also log in to perform administrative tasks not available in other modules.
- Administrator Workstation
- Provides Admin users access to the administrator console from a workstation. This module does not require direct access to the Admin module server. Most functions are available, but some are limited to only the Administrator module. This module does not require SQL or Microsoft Office to be installed.
- Terminal Services Database
- This module is the remote local file room database and file storage used for terminal servers and similar environments. It should be installed on a dedicated server that is not the same as the terminal server used to access the program. This module requires an SQL instance but does not require Microsoft Office.
- Terminal Services Client
- This is the end-user portion of the application designed for terminal servers and similar environments. It functions similarly to the Workpaper Management module, but it does not require an SQL instance as it accesses the local file room via the terminal server database. Microsoft Office is required before installing this module.
