File Server Login (K: drive)

• Download CleanAir-FileServer.exe program to desktop and run it.
• Enter your user name and password & click "Login".
• NOTE: if it says "check user name or password" you might need to click "Login" again. (it's an obscure issue with our firewall).
• Now the file server will show up under "My Computer" as the K: drive. This includes Drop Folders, Projects, Proposals, etc.

4D Corporate & 4D ESS (Rentals)

• Download the Corporate or Rentals 4D Client to your desktop.
• Expand it (Right Click & "Expand").
• Move this expanded folder into your Program Files folder (C:\Program Files).
• The program is now ready to run, but you'll most likely want to make a shortcut on your desktop for it. Look in C:\\Program Files\4D Corporate Client (or ESS Client) and right click on the Corporate Client.exe (or ESS Client.exe) and choose "Create Shortcut". You can then drag or copy this shortcut to your desktop.
• The first time you run it, you may need to enter a custom connection (go to the "Custom" tab that appears when you run it).
• Fill in the following information:
• DB Name =Corporate, Net Address=db1.cleanair.com:1025
• DB Name =Rentals, Net Address=db1.cleanair.com:2500
• Then enter your user name and password. In the future, you'll see Corporate or Rentals listed in the "Recent" tab when you start 4D so you won't need to re-enter the name and address.

The IT Department needs your help!

Are you computer inclined and detail oriented?  Do you double check your work?  Do you have a free moment?  Then take a look at this laundry list of things that just aren't getting done...

Adobe Connect (WebEx replacement 1)

https://connect.acrobat.com/cleanairengineering

host user id: adobemeeting@cleanair.com

pass:  clean800

• It's easy to use and remarkably cheap ($400/year unlimited use)
• If multiple users log in as the host, they can all control the meeting
• You can share your desktop or other apps in addition to a slideshow
• It's limited to 5 connections at once
• It's mean primarily for internal use
• Mac & Windows compatible (though Mac users seem to get disconnected more often) 

CleanAir Google Docs (WebEx replacement 2)

Go to https://docs.cleanair.com and click New: Presentation

• Creating a slideshow is intuitive
• You can import PowerPoint (check to make sure it converts OK before showing it)
• Add a CleanAir user as a collaborator and they can co-host (control) the slideshow
• "Start Presentation" and away you go
• You can also email invites from Google Docs
• You can schedule this meeting on your calendar and have it show up on the guests' calendar as well
• You have the ability to use "presenter notes" on a second screen.
• Mac & Windows compatible 
 

 REMOTE LINK (conference calling)

Host Entry (what you do to start the conference)

Host calls assigned dial-in number 800-240-8606

Enter HOST Conference Room number (331373)

Record name followed by pound (#) key

Once the host arrives the call will automatically begin

 

Guest Entry (what everyone else does to log in)

Each guest calls assigned dial-in number 800-240-8606

Enter GUEST Conference Room Number (8700)

Record name followed by pound (#) key

 

If guests arrive before the host, they will be placed in a waiting room with music on hold until the host arrives. All guests who arrive after the host will automatically join the call.

 

This is a general use room so there is a risk other people might be using it so for sales calls or other client related calls:

Call/email Eric Campbell or Barb Jensen to get your very own room.

Google Odds & Ends...

• You can use Google as a calculator by typing calculations into the search box. For Example, 5+2*2+8.1^3.
• You can use Google for Unit Conversion. Example: 1000 BTU in kilocalories.
• You can use Google for Currency Conversion. Example: 5 British pounds in South Korean money.
• Google Toolbar is a great popup blocker & adds some very useful search functions to IE & Firefox
• Google Desktop is a resource HOG & I'm only recommending it as being safer than various weatherbug/exact-time/webscreensavers. Like weatherbug et al, it will still slow your computer down, but at least it doesn't have spyware.
• You can call 800-GOOG-411 (800-466-4411) and, through voice recognition, ask Google for things like weather, directions, etc.
• You can text message GOOGL (46645) (try it out here) from your cell phone to get weather, the local pizza restaurant address, driving directions, etc.

 TIPS

 

When you press the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard you have just copied a picture of your entire screen and you can "Edit: Paste" this into a MS Word document or a Graphic document (like Paint or Canvas). ...If you hold down the "Alt" key and hit the "Print Screen" key, you copy a picture of the active(front) window instead of the entire computer screen.

 

 

 

Import Drawings into Word:

Avoid pixelated blocky drawings in Word documents by saving a Canvas drawing as a JPG, setting the resolution to 300 dpi and enabling anti-aliasing.
