VISUAL PLANNING can be installed and used in different configurations, each of them presenting the same user interface and the same basic functions :

 

Collaborative Stand-Alone
Directly installed on user’s PCs, this version can be used on its own. In this case, the information of the planner is not shared.
However, if you benefit from a LAN, you are able to install up to 5 stand-alone versions of VISUAL PLANNING and share the planners between users.

If you do not use a dedicated database server, one of the connected PCs will be used to do so.
Server
The server version is likely to share planners between a large number of users regardless their location: Same site, remote sites, intranet ...
It uses local area networks (LAN) configurations on Terminal Server (TSE) and Internet / intranet (WEB) communication.
The built-in user's rights module allows to give permissions to users, or groups of users, to view, create, modify or delete events, settings, filters ...
