The Click & Go Supervisor module is a fully-featured version of the Supervisor module that does not require installation or configuration by the person running it. It therefore allows you to easily provide supervisor-level access to your projects, without the recipient needing to carry out any technical set-up. You simply need to configure the Click & Go executable and send it to the recipient, who then runs it as-is. It is simpler to run than the full Supervisor module in the following ways:
installation is not necessary;
the Windows registry isn't used at all;
vcredist.exe is not necessary;
the executable does not leave anything behind on the machine on which it is run.
Click & Go Supervisor is a sophisticated self-extracting zip file. Whenever it is run, the following happens:
a temporary folder is created in the Windows temp folder;
everything necessary is extracted to this temporary folder;
Supervisor.exe is started with an embedded command line, providing the appropriate log-in;
After Supervisor.exe closes, the temporary folder (and everything inside) is deleted.
The exe internally contains the command line necessary to start Supervisor. This command line contains everything needed:
IP address of the CCA;
the associated setup version number; if this version is lower than the latest version available on CCA, the program will abort;
the standalone option to signal the registry has to be ignored;
the port number of the CCA (optional);
the agent ID for login (optional);
the password for login, either encrypted or not (optional);
the location ID (optional);
the default workspace ID for startup (optional).
Before sending the executable to the recipient, you need to configure it with the appropriate account details. There are two ways to set up a Supervisor Click & Go executable. Follow the links below for further details:
By copying the Click & Go file from your CCA Server and modifying it with a batch file;
In your web browser, by connecting to a CCA portal.
