Totally portable personal tools
Community and Personal Edition are totally portable applications. You have the choice of installing them conventionally to program files on the PC or if you don’t have the admin rights required for this you can install them to your My documents area or even direct to a USB stick.
Because they are .NET applications they effectively sit ‘on top’ of the .NET framework which is installed as standard on windows PC/laptops and you will see no difference in functionality when operating in this portable mode.
It is not just the application that is portable, your temp/view and checkout folders are also packaged into the portable directory so when using a USB hosted application all your file actions are happening there meaning there is no accidental footprint of leaving file copies on the host PC.
This makes portable operation perfect for the lone Project Manager or contractor who is frequently moving computers, projects and even organisations. This also allows PMs within an organisation to take their projects home or out to customer sites and then back to the office with ease.
Personal Edition even allows you to have a number of frequently used email profiles to support the sending of files by email at the different locations you work from.
Portable clients for consultants
Small Team and Enterprise Edition clients need to connect back to a central server so full operation will require this connection to be available over the web, but the portable principle is still applied.
The .NET software client can be installed in programme files and operated in portable mode with its folders on a USB stick as with the personal tools. A third mode od ‘single use’ is also supported where the client is pulled from the browser interface, unpacked to a PC to use and when closed folds itself away.
All three modes are very helpful in different circumstances and each user can pick and choose their mode to suit the circumstances. The key to this operation is web access back to the server, provided by us in the hosted service and which can be set up by your IT department in your own implementation.
