3.3. Requirements for Administrators

The requirements for administrators differs from the requirements for general end users. Review the information below carefully.

About Web Browsers for Administrators

Most LincDoc administrative tasks are done via a web browser.

Important: It is strongly recommended that either Google Chrome 15 (and above) or Firefox 18 (and above) be used for administering the LincDoc system.

The reason for using these browsers is that the administration interface is highly Javascript intensive, and the browsers listed above have more powerful Javascript engines. For end users, the interface is less complex, so it is acceptable to use older browsers or different browser types.

Note: Administering LincDoc from a mobile web browser is not supported.

About the LincDoc Connector

The LincDoc Connector tool is used to send/receive documents and data to/from third-party platforms. Currently, there are connectors for sending information to a Windows file share and Laserfiche. The connector software installs as a Windows service on the server to which the documents and data are being written.
