Workstations are added by users that have Administration rights.
Workstation configuration will take
place before the system goes “live”, and is of utmost importance if the system
is interfacing with other systems.
Every time a new workstation is
added on the network it should be registered here first before operation continues
the workstation. It is best to add the workstation from the PC itself as Apex will automatically detect the workstation's name.
- The Workstation menu is situated under the
Administration header >General
Administration >Workstations.
