Workstation Requirements

Windows 10 is recommended

Intel i3 or greater

1280 x 1024 minimum resolution (1920 x1080 preferred)

2GB RAM or greater

300MB free space on HDD

Microsoft .NET 4.6.2 or greater

 

Internet

To ensure a quality Jim2.Cloud 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 your current internet speeds and other local internet usage factors should be discussed with your IT provider, and a Happen technical representative.

 

Cloud Install

For PC users, we provide you with the Jim2.Cloud 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 Mobile App        

iOS 7.1 or later        

 

EFTPOS (Optional with Retail)

Tyro EFTPOS

 

Office 365

An Office 365 subscription that supports use within a cloud environment is required. Office ProPlus is required if you wish 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 you discuss this with your IT provider.

 

If you do not have a compatible Office 365 Subscription, or use a standard version of Office on your local computer, please note that Office documents will need to be saved to your local PC before they can be viewed (other than basic preview) or edited. You cannot export spreadsheets from Jim2.Cloud 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.

Zebra GK420/430 series USB Direct or Thermal Transfer Label Printer (4 inch) with EPL Drivers .

Labels – 40mm x 28mm.

Info
