Remember that if you use the STOP Node feature, be sure to use the START node feature before continuing.

 

Project Manager without any additional software

Using an ordinary web browser and without downloading or installing the Client Plug-in, you can use any feature in WebAccess, except two: Start View and Start Draw. 

 

If you want a guided example of creating a project or creating points and tags, go to the Example B - Build a Project.

 

For now, click any item in project manager and explore.  Just remember that if you use the STOP Node feature, be sure to use the START node feature before continuing.

 

If you click on a feature that requires the WebAccess Client Plug-in (Start View or Start Draw), WebAccess will prompt you to download the Client software. If you do not want to download, hit the back button.

 

If you do want to download and Install the Client-Plug-in, go to the next section.
