The system's smart client - QPS® Connect Client - is set up based on individual roles in the workflow and works with users' preferred applications on their platform of choice. Offering native versions for both Windows® (.NET) and Mac OS® X (Cocoa®), the new multi-purpose QPS Connect Client brings a world of freedom to members of your workgroup.
This powerful, role-based, smart client lets you work locally from your office or remotely through the Internet, allowing you to administer, manage, and contribute from wherever you happen to be through a virtual workplace.
And better yet, the QPS Connect Client works with any application that runs on Mac OS X, Windows XP, or Windows Vista®, letting you check-in, manage, track and version the files from your favorite software. You leverage the knowledge and skill sets of your users and reduce time and cost associated with training.
The unique, consolidated QPS Connect Client has three role-based working modes:
Compact mode
Designed to work with any Mac® or Windows application. Provides functions that enable users to track their assignments, make assignments, check out and check in, save revisions, create, save and share searches with other users and groups, and monitor and track projects and publications throughout the production cycle.
Workspace (Managerial) mode
Enables workgroup managers to stay on top of it all. Initiate new jobs, make assignments, monitor and adjust user workloads, track and manage projects and publications throughout the production cycle, and replicate, archive and restore server content.
Administration mode
Allows system administrators to setup, configure, and monitor the system (locally or remotely) — mapping the details of their workgroup’s creative environment into QPS, such as type of projects and publications, user privileges, workflows and rules for versioning and automated routing.
