Installing Eclipse Software

To install the Eclipse / AppController software:

1. Select the appropriate download link below based on your operating system (Windows or Mac OS). 
The Go-Global Appcontroller client is compatible with Windows 7 or later, and Mac OS 10.10 or later. If you have a lower version of OS you must upgrade your Operating System to connect to our servers.

For the best experience using Eclipse, we recommend you use a Windows system.
While using a MAC System will work, you may run into the following issues:
- Your clipboard dropping (resulting in copy and paste functions not working from your local machine).
- Your local drive dropping (meaning you will not be able to save files to your local machine).
The only way to fix these issues is to reset your Eclipse session by signing out and back in again whenever this occurs.

12. You are now logged into Eclipse and should see the main window.

 

13. Excel Report settings are required to be set depending on your local machine (Mac OS or Windows):


MAC OS:

If you are a MAC OS User you must turn on the 'MAC User' setting under Control Table → User Entry Defaults 

This forces files to be saved to an Eclipse folder on your Desktop.

If this setting is not enabled, Excel reports will not generate for you.

 

 

Windows OS:

If you are a Windows User, Excel documents will open in your local copy of Excel on your computer and no further configuration for Excel reports is necessary.

If you do not have Excel installed on your local computer or you wish for Excel reports to save directly to disk instead of opening once completed, you will need to turn on saving Excel reports directly to your disk under Control Table → User Entry DefaultsGeneral Save to Disk.

You can then customise the path. The default path is M:\Eclipse which will save your Excel reports in an Eclipse folder on your local C:\ Drive under C:\Eclipse.

(Note that Eclipse sees your C:\ Drive as M:\ so you must keep the path as M:\)
