Other configuration and setup

Design flows

In PowerSwitch, design the flows you want to use with SwitchClient. The next topic discusses information specific to designing a flow for use with SwitchClient. For more information, see Performing the tutorial, Workspace overview and Working with the canvas.

Configure users

In the PowerSwitch Users pane, add the appropriate SwitchClient users and configure their user name, password, email address, and access rights. See Managing users and Configuring access rights.

Provide sufficient client licenses

A regular PowerSwitch license includes a license for up to five SwitchClient connections. If this is insufficient you can purchase additional client licenses.

Activate flows

In PowerSwitch, activate the flows you want to be operational for use with SwitchClient.

Note:

A SwitchClient user with the appropriate access rights can access submit points, checkpoints and jobs in inactive flows but the jobs won't move along the flow.

Leave the server running

SwitchClient interacts only with the PowerSwitch server, not with the PowerSwitch designer. You can safely quit the designer without disturbing SwitchClient operation as long as you leave the server running (the designer will ask what to do when you quit).
