Internet

To ensure a quality Jim2Cloud experience, reliable high speed internet access is required.

 

When used in an office environment of up to 10 users, an ADSL2+ Broadband connection should be adequate, provided the download speed is above approximately 10 Mbps.

 

For a larger quantity of users, an understanding of current internet speeds and other local internet usage factors should be discussed with your company IT provider and a Happen technical representative.

 

Cloud Install

For PC users, Happen Business provides the Jim2Cloud RemoteApp Client.

 

For Mac users, install Microsoft Remote Desktop available at the App Store.

 

For Android/iOS users, install Microsoft Remote Desktop from the appropriate app store.

 

Network

A stable network is required by Jim2.        

 

Jim2 v2 Mobile App        

iOS 9.0 or later        

Android 5.0 or higher.

 

Install Jim2 Mobile v2 available on Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.com.happen.jim2mobile – copy and paste into a browser) and the App Store (https://apps.apple.com/au/app/jim2-v2/id1612718248  – copy and paste into a broser). The v2 app is compatible with v4.4 onwards.

 

The original Jim2 Mobile app (iOS only) is not compatible with the latest version of Jim2, and is no longer supported.

 

EFTPOS

Office 365

An Office 365 subscription that supports use within a cloud environment is required. Office ProPlus is required to activate Office 365 for use within the cloud. This is available within the E3 plan, or can be purchased separately and added to the Essentials and Business Premium Plans. Please ensure to discuss this with the company IT provider.

 

If the Office 365 Subscription is not a compatible edition or is only a standard version of Office locally installed, please note that Office documents will need to be saved to the local PC before they can be viewed (other than basic preview) or edited. Spreadsheets cannot be exported from Jim2Cloud with these versions.

 

Peripherals

It is recommended that every workstation has access to a printer (shared through network or locally installed), as a printer is required to generate and preview reports from Jim2.

 

Info

When making changes to printers, log off both Jim2Cloud and Microsoft Remote Desktop, then log back on to ensure the changes take effect.
