Logging Into The New Web Client
The new web client must be installed on your Ideagen Quality Management application server so that it can be used. Once this has been done, it can be accessed via a URL that is unique to your environment.
After you have logged in, you will notice the brand-new design for the web client. This design adopts a “Groove” User Interface which allows users to navigate their way through a more fluid and web-friendly design, allowing increased functionality to Document Management via the web.
The legacy Ideagen Quality Management Web Interface will only operate on Internet Explorer, however, this new web client is supported on both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer (version 10 and higher).
