Dashboard

Upon launching PowerDesktop, the application icon is added to the notification area in the taskbar, and the Dashboard is displayed.

If you would prefer opening a Work Explorer window for your most recently used connection at startup, open Tools > Options, and enable Automatically log in using default connection on the General tab.

From the Dashboard, you can:

Connect to cloud-based document management systems
Manage pending and completed jobs running against the cloud or your local file system
View job and application logs
Change application options
Activate the application and manage licenses

At the center of the Dashboard is a tabbed collection of Job Managers, with each tab representing a supported system. Job Managers have three main sections:

Queue: List of pending and running jobs.
Completed: History of previously processed jobs.
Queue Management: Controls for starting, stopping, pausing, and restarting the queue, as well as editing its settings.
