Each sponsor site, i.e. printing, prepress, newspaper or reprographic center running a Vertex File Transfer system needs to establish an administrator. When the system is setup, the Vertex systems engineer will send the designated administrator the access information for managing the account.
If you want to access the V-Connect or V-Direct administrator page for your site, click on the URL provided by the Vertex technical staff:
EXAMPLE : http://www.vconnect.net/<--32 character acct#here-->/sponsor
When prompted for UserID and password, enter the values provided by the Vertex technical staff:
Admin User : XXXXXXX
Password : XXXXXXXXX
This administrative page provides administrative functions for users, forms, sites and splash screens.
The user administration page will allow you to see all of the users of your system.
Clicking on any of the user names will allow you to view the details for that user. You may enable and disable users from this window. The administrator may also change passwords from this page.
The "Manage Forms" page will allow you to add/delete forms. Add forms by using the browse button to select the html form from your local drive and then click the "Add!" button to load it to the V-Connect site. To delete a form, just highlight it in the forms list and click "Delete selected Form". To rename a form, highlight it in the forms list and then enter a new value in the "Rename form to:" text box. The name will be changed in the system as soon as you click on the "Rename" button.
To edit forms online. Highlight the form you want to edit and click the "Edit Selected Form" button. This will open the edit form window. The "Save"
The "Manage Sites" page allows you to add/delete/edit/rename site keys (ftp or https parameters).
Highlighting a key in the key list and clicking on the "Edit Selected Site" button will open the Edit Key window:
Every site key must have a Server URL or IP address, a user ID and a password. Path is an optional field. You may also select PASV (passive mode ftp transfers) or disable PASV for Active mode transfers. It is important to remember however that Netscape for the Mac does NOT support active mode transfers. If you want the Vertex "On-the-Fly" streaming file compression to be used - ensure that the "Use Compression" checkbox is enabled.
Highlighted sites in the site list may also be deleted or renamed. Clicking on the "Add New Site..." will open up the Edit Key window and the admin can add a new site key. This process is different from the "Add Site Key:" function where the admin can browse for a pre-made key and upload it to the site.
The "Custom Splash" Screen window allows the administrator to change the splash screen that is displayed in all the desktop clients in the admin's sponsor network.
