Web browser requirements

For the best experience with the RelaNet Cloud web interface, we recommend that you use the latest and supported version of a browser from this list:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer

• Microsoft Edge

• Mozilla Firefox

• Google Chrome/Chromium

• Apple Safari

Note

If you want to use RelaNet Cloud Talk you need to run Mozilla Firefox 52+ or Google Chrome/Chromium 49+ to have the full experience with video calls and screensharing. Google Chrome/Chromium requires a additional plugin for screensharing.

Microsoft Internet Explorer is NOT supported.

Navigating the main user interface

By default, the RelaNet Cloud Web interface opens to your Dashboard or Files page:

In Files you can add, remove, and share files, and make changes based on the access privileges set by you (if you are administering the server) or by your server administrator.

The RelaNet Cloud user interface contains the following fields and functions:

• Apps Selection Menu (1): Located in the upper left corner, you’ll find all your apps which are available on your instance of RelaNet Cloud. Clicking on an apps icon will redirect you to the app.

• Apps Information field (2): Located in the left sidebar, this provides filters and tasks associated with your selected app. For example, when you are using the Files apps you have a special set of filters for quickly finding your files, such as files that have been shared with you, and files that you have shared with others. You’ll see different items for other apps.

• Application View (3): The main central field in the RelaNet Cloud user interface. This field displays the contents or user features of your selected app.

• Navigation Bar (4): Located over the main viewing window (the Application View), this bar provides a type of breadcrumbs navigation that enables you to migrate to higher levels of the folder hierarchy up to the root level (home).

• New button (5): Located in the Navigation Bar, the New button enables you to create new files, new folders, or upload files.

Note

You can also drag and drop files from your file manager into the Files Application View to upload them to your instance.

• Search field (6): Click on the Magnifier in the upper right corner to search for files and entries of the current app.

• Contacts Menu (7): Gives you an overview about your contacts and users on your server. Dependent on the given details and available apps, you can directly start a video call with them or send emails.

• Grid view button (8): This looks like four little squares, which toggles the grid view for folders and files.

• Settings menu (9): Click on your profile picture, located to the right of the Search field, to open your Settings dropdown menu. Your Settings page provides the following settings and features:

  • Server usage and space availability
