You will receive a form with this information:
Enter values for everything on the left
Do NOT subscribe to any Appeon emails.
CLICK the “Create Account” button.
You will receive an email – follow the directions on the email to finalize your account. You can use your password that you currently use if you wish to make things simple.
WHEN YOU ARE DONE SETTING UP YOUR ACCOUNT – Let the Director of Web & Application Services know that your account is created, and they will assign a license to you so that you can use the product. Once the license is assigned, proceed to the instructions below.
Configure Infomaker account on your computer
To help facilitate the process and remove possible notification messages, open Infomaker first and sign in. Don’t do anything, just sign in. If you do not remember your password, follow the steps on the sign-in screen to reset it. Once you are signed in to Infomaker, close the application and continue with the steps below.
- Click on your Windows icon – typically in the lower left corner of your screen. Scroll to the ‘D’ section, and expand the option ‘Dominican University Remote App…’.
Then, select the option for the ‘Infomaker Configuration Tool for J1…’
- The form for the configuration tool will now open. On this form, the ‘Recommended’ tab will be selected. Look to the lower right corner of the form and click the ‘Apply All Settings’ button. Most of the red arrows will disappear. If you receive a message that says: “The shared profile file does not exist”, simply click the ‘OK’ button to dismiss the form.
- After clicking the ‘Apply All Settings’, look back towards the top of the form and click the ‘Optional’ tab.
Then, when the new page appears, click the button with the double chevrons that point to the right. Your form should look similar to this when done:
Click the ‘Close’ button – you are finished with this section.
- Now, you need to start Infomaker. The option to start Infomaker will be in the same place as the Infomaker Configuration Tool in your Windows menu. Select the option to open Infomaker:
- You will be asked to sign in to Infomaker. Use your network credentials. Typically, when we set this up initially, you were asked to use the same password that you use to sign in to the Dominican network:
- Click the ‘Activate’ button, and enter your credentials:
After entering userid and password, make sure that the ‘Auto login and startup’ and the ‘Sign out on exit’ checkboxes are checked. Click the ‘Log In’ button.
- Upon entering Infomaker, typically you will see a toolbar across the top of the form, and a lot of gray space. Click the ‘Library’ icon in the tool bar (as shown below). Then, expand the library structure until you are at the correct list of pbl files:
- There is one final piece that must be performed. In the form above, select ‘Tools’, then select ‘Database Profiles’. The following form will appear:
Click the ‘+’ next to ODB ODBC. Select ‘J1 Desktop’, click the ‘Connect’ button.
Your system should now be ready for use. If you have any questions or run into any issues, please contact the Director of Web & Application Services.
