Axiom Software launch page

Using the Axiom Software launch page, you can:

Install and/or launch various Axiom Software clients
Download software prerequisites for these clients
Access various Web Client features such as Axiom forms, web reports, and auditing

Accessing the launch page

To access this page, go to the following URL for your organization's system:

Example On-Premise URL

http://ServerName/Axiom/home/launchpage

Where ServerName is the name of the Axiom Application Server, and Axiom is the default name of the virtual directory.

Example Cloud System URL

https://CustomerName.axiom.cloud/home/launchpage

Where CustomerName is the name of your cloud service system.

The launch page may also display as the default landing page when you navigate to the base URL for your Axiom Software installation (such as https://CustomerName.Axiom.Cloud). However, if your assigned Axiom Home file is web-enabled, then your Home page will display as the default landing page instead of the launch page.

You can also access the launch page from the Navigation panel in the Web Client Task Bar. Click the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the top left of the task bar to open the Navigation panel, then click Axiom Launch Page at the bottom of the panel. The Axiom Software "a" icon in the top left of the Global Navigation Bar also links to the launch page.

Installing and launching Axiom Software client applications

The launch page contains links to install and/or launch the following:

Client	Description
Web Client	Opens your Home page for the Axiom Web Client (meaning a form-enabled home page), if one is assigned. Otherwise, opens the Axiom Forms Explorer page.
Windows Client	Installs and launches the Axiom Windows Client on your desktop.
Excel Client	Installs and launches the Axiom Excel Client on your desktop. Note that this option may not be available on your organization's launch page, in which case you should use the Windows Client as your desktop client.

For the Windows and Excel Clients, if the client is not already installed on the current workstation, clicking the link will initiate the install and then launch the client. If the client is already installed, clicking the link will launch the client.

For more information on installing the Windows Client and Excel Client, including prerequisites and configuration details, see the Installation Guide. You can optionally download and install certain client prerequisites using the Download section at the right side of the launch page.

The appropriate client to use depends on your organization's preferences and on your user role. Your organization will provide instruction as to which client you should use.
