Launching Axiom applications
You can launch various Axiom applications from the Area menu in the Web Client, including the Axiom Excel Client and Axiom Windows Client.
Area menu with Launch section to launch various applications
The Launch section of the menu serves the following purposes:
-
You can install the Axiom Desktop Client from this menu as needed. After installing the Desktop Client (Windows Client or Excel Client), you can continue to launch the client from this location, or you can use other options to launch the client (such as a shortcut on your desktop).
-
You can install and launch Axiom add-ins such as the add-ins for Microsoft Office applications.
-
If your system uses SAML or OpenID authentication, this menu is the only way to launch installed applications. When using SAML and OpenID authentication, you must be authenticated using the Web Client before you can launch a desktop application.
NOTE: The specific clients and add-ins listed on the Quick Launch menu depend on your particular security permissions (as defined on the Permissions tab of security). If you do not have permission to a particular client or add-in, then that item does not display on the Quick Launch menu. If you do not have security permissions to any of the applications on the Quick Launch menu, then the icon and the menu will not be present in the navigation bar.
