Workstations

General

The COGLAS workstation is used to print directly to a printer. No more browser page preview.

A COGLAS workstation with positions must be entered for the application. You then need to re-log in to the COGLAS application and choose the workstation on log in.

As soon as the print of a stored report template is triggered, the print is output directly to the printer on which workstation the session was logged into.

Additional options are:

  • Output one Document type to two target Printer name.
    Multiple workstation entries are required for this.

  • Output one Document type with number of copies multiple times.

    • Create, change or delete a workstation entry.

  • Menu = System - User Management - Current workstation

    • Option to select a new workstation immediately.
      When you save, the session is logged off and a new login is required.
