Client Machine Requirements

On the client machines, Contract Manager systems run entirely through a browser interface. The majority of pages are HTML with JavaScript code in them. There are a few applets that require the Java JRE. There is an optional ActiveX control for higher quality printing of reports and forms.

 

Operating Systems

 

􀂃 Windows 2000 All Types SP3 & SP4

 

􀂃 Windows XP Professional SP1 & SP2

 

􀂃 Windows Vista

 

 

Browser

 

􀂃 IE 6.0 SP1 & Higher

 

􀂃 IE 7.0

 

 

Other Client Requirements

 

􀂃 Java Run-Time Engine 1.5.1_10 (The Contract Manager installer will load this on your server. Clients will automatically download it from your server. Windows users must have installation rights [Power User or Administrator] to install the JRE. Once installed, Windows user rights can be reduced.)

 

􀂃 MS Word 2000 or greater (for the Letters module)

 

􀂃 MS Excel XP or greater (for Send to Excel feature)

 

 

Client Machine Specifications

The client workstation requires enough available RAM to properly display all of the data returned to the browser. Variables to consider; operating system resource requirements, number of projects contained in the active group, report and form sizes, other processes active outside of Contract Manager requirements. The varying size of report and form processing will increase the RAM requirement. Additionally, each project listed in a project tree requires additional RAM to display. As the number of projects increase, so too does the memory requirements for the client.
