Overview

The Velocity Web Services Client (VWSC) allows you to use several key features of the Velocity application through a web browser with network or internet access to the Velocity Server or Workstation. VWSC provides much of the Velocity client functionality without the need to install any software.

The VWSC Features and Functions are based on Role permissions configured on the Velocity application. Before you can install the Velocity Web Services Client, you must first install Microsoft’s Internet Information Services (IIS).  IIS can either reside on the same computer where the Velocity Server is installed or a dedicated IIS Server.

For more details on System Requirements and Installing the Velocity Web Services Client refer to; VWSC System Requirements and Installation and navigate to Velocity Release 3.8.6 -> Installation ->  Installing IIS to Support the Velocity Web Services Client (VWSC).

End User License Agreement (EULA)

The End-User License Agreement (EULA) screen includes a scrollable pane where the terms of the agreement are displayed.

Before an Operator can login to the Web Client for the first time, they will be required to accept the END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT before they can proceed to use the product. In order to accept the EULA, the operator has to scroll down to the end of the document in order for the “I agree to ….” radio button to become active. Once the EULA is accepted for the first time, it will not prompt again on future logins for the same operator. All operators who need to access the Web Client will need to accept the EULA.

To print the EULA, click the Print button.

After you've read the license agreement, select one of these two options:

I agree to the terms in the License Agreement

Selecting this radio button means you have read and agreed to the terms in the EULA. Clicking OK will allow you to continue with the login process.

I do not accept the License Agreement

Selecting this radio button means you have read and DO NOT agree to the terms in the EULA. Clicking OK will NOT allow you to proceed into the Web Client and return back to the login screen.

System Use Notification

The System Use Notification is an optional feature intended for organizations that want to display a banner before accessing the Web Client. This banner is typically used to inform the operator they are accessing a restricted system.

A Velocity Administrator needs to enable this optional feature within Velocity (Preferences → Miscellaneous)  if required to be used. Once the option is enabled and the customer selects their defined “HTM” or “HTML” file a banner like the example below will appear every time an operator attempts to login.  The banner will need to be accepted before they can login to the Web Client.

The banner below is a sample only of the System Use Notification:

After you've read the System Use Notification banner, select one of these two options:

Accept

Clicking Accept means you have read and agreed to the terms in the System Use Notification banner and will allow you to continue with the login process.

Cancel 

Clicking Cancel means you have read and DO NOT agree to the terms specified in the System Use Notification banner. Hence the system will not allow you to login to the Web Client and returns back to the login screen without the Login button being visible. Clicking the refresh icon on the address bar will bring the System Use Notification banner back and will have to be accepted before you can proceed to login.
