Client Application
|
|
|
The client application resides on each computer station in your network.
It provides your customers access to the groups of applications you define and to those applications
you specify for each group.
- displays elapsed time and cost information
- displays application categories
- displays applications' shortcuts together with icon for the
selected category
- fast and reliable way of switching from one category of applications to another
- ability to send SMS messages worldwide (directly from the client interface)
at a price which you define, turning this into a new source of revenue for you
- local security and privacy settings

Once installed, the client application will automatically start after Windows Logon.
This will load the available categories of applications from the server and then it will retrieve
information about its status (whether it is free or already started and all the initialization
information it needs to get started).
If the computer station is free, the client application will not allow access to its resources.
On the other hand, if the computer is already started in the server, it will grant the customer
access to the available application categories.
In order to gain access to the computer station, the customer should ask the employee to start it
from the server or to allow him to enter his membership or card information. This way, he would have
to enter his membership account username and password or card serial and password directly in the
client-application login form (the application will try to validate these with the server and then
grant access accordingly).
The customer will be able to choose from the defined categories of applications and will be able to
switch from one to another at any time, being charged with the corresponding price.
Card and membership account users will only be allowed to access those categories their
card / membership type is activated for.
Administrator?s tasks with the client application include defining security policies and several
communication security issues and deactivating the client application.
Employees' tasks with the client application refer to defining programs' paths for each available category.
