Install the Application

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

It's very simple to install FieldOne, even when networking different machines. The application has two components.

1.The Server component is installed on a central computer and stores the company information.
2.The Client component is installed on each user's computer and is used to access the company information on the Server.

Although it's only a matter of minutes, we give full details in the topics below so that you understand what is happening.

Initial Install, First Machine - All components are placed on a single machine. If you simply wish to get started, you can go right into the steps for installing on a single machine.You can use this for a trial or pilot or simply as a stand-alone unit, adding more Clients later.
1.The Server component
a)Application Server - processing internal and external requests for the Program and Database
b)Dedicated Database -

Either - provided default Database

Or- your customized instance of Microsoft SQL Server®

2.The Client component, the Software Application - functions and screens
You can run several Clients from the above single-machine install, all using the included Server.
Install Application Clients - You can place the Client component only, the Software Application, on additional machines. This describes configurations and choices.
However, for larger deployments, with many Clients, a separate server machine is advisable. For questions on configuration, please send an email to: support@fieldone.com.
