Office Tracker Installation Instructions:
The following instruction will guide you through the installation of the Office Tracker system.
Decided which computer you are going to use as the Office Tracker Server. This computer will be the central repository for all schedule information and should remain on 24/7 if you plan to actively use the trial. You can use a regular desktop machine and install the desktop client as well as the server on the same machine for demo purposes. Once you purchase a license, you can move the server to another machine and you will be able to retain all data you've created.
1. Make a list of the users names (internal people) and the resources (rooms, cars, grounds etc.) you will be scheduling or using during the trial, You should include your own name as well. You can always add or remove names from the system at any time however you will require a few names to get started.
2. Double-click the "Office Tracker Installer.exe" you downloaded.
Follow the on screen instructions. To install with the recommended default settings just press the "next" button until finished. Note: Only download and run the installer on one computer (the one that is going to be the server for your demo). Do not run it on each end user machine as you will end up with multiple servers and no clients. The Office Tracker Desktop Client Scheduler has a special installer built into the Server and each of your other users will be able to install the desktop software easily from a page you will see in a few minutes once you complete the Server installation.
3. When the Installer is finished the "Office Tracker Setup" page should display in your web browser. If this page does not open, double click the Office Tracker Admin icon on the desktop to access it.
4. The Office Tracker Setup page displays the "Add Name" screen the first time you access it. Add the names you listed in step one(1) by entering one name at a time and clicking the "Add Name" button to save each entry. You can come back and add more at any time.
5. Choose "Desktop Client Scheduler" to access the desktop software or "Web Client Scheduler" to access the web version of the scheduler. Follow the instructions on the corresponding page.
Note: Be sure to check your firewall settings to ensure it is open for the Office Tracker client port. Open your firewall for ports 8001 and 4300 on the Server computer. You access this from the Windows Firewall Control Panel under the Exceptions tab. "Add Port."
