Other configuration and setup

Design flows

In Switch, users can design the flows they want to use with SwitchClient. The next topic discusses information specific to designing a flow for use with SwitchClient. For more information, see Tutorial overview, Workspace overview and Working with the canvas.

Configure users

In the Switch 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 Switch license includes a license for up to five SwitchClient connections. If this is insufficient, user can purchase additional client licenses. The number of licenses (that is, simultaneous connections) can be raised by entering a new activation key. For more information see Switch Quick Start guide.

Activate flows

In Switch, 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 will not move along the flow.

Leave the server running

SwitchClient interacts only with the Switch server, not with the Switch designer. User can safely quit the designer without disturbing SwitchClient operation by leaving the server running (the designer will ask what to do when user quits).
