Desktop Server Installation
How to install EstVis Desktop Server
Desktop Server – the application for Windows, actually your local server, that stores and operates with all your bodyshop's data, such as work orders (cases), customer's and vehicle's data, photo documentation, work authorizations, invoices and many other data.
You do not need to constantly interact with the Desktop Server – it is enough to install it once, configure it and ensure its constant background work with the autorun enabled in case of restarting the computer on which it is installed. Further all interaction with Desktop Server is associated with the rare need to make the required changes to the system settings, for example setting up the integration with third-party software.
System requirements:
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | 2 cores | 4 cores |
| RAM | 4 GB | 8 GB |
| Disk | 2 GB | 10 GB |
Installation
To install Desktop Server go to EstVis main web site, click Download on the top panel of the page and choose Desktop Server. Launch the installation package when it is downloaded and follow the instructions on the screen.
Workflow requires Microsoft Windows® 8 or later with Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 or later installed. Do not worry if .NET Framework is not installed or you do not know anything about this – just follow the installation process, the installation of the framework suggestion will be prompted if needed.
The first launch
The very first launch of Desktop Server may take longer than usual – please be patient, the app has to initialize itself and create a local database.
When initialization is completed the application will prompt you with entering your system credentials – these are not your manager credentials, but the specific ones – please use system credentials you had received earlier in Email #2 with subject Welcome to EstVis | Step 2 of 2.
