Third Party Plug In
The Third Party Plug In is used to verify that users have the third-party software products installed on their workstation needed to access features and screens in the system. This configuration screen is used to add custom Help information and/or custom URL (Uniform Resource Locator) links to Download files or Help files regarding installation of any missing products.
How it Works:
-
When a user runs the System Checker, the system determines which components need to be verified based on the user's Authorization Role permissions, and it will run only those checks. For more information, see Running the System Checker.
-
If a user's workstation does not have a valid version of the product, it checks the indicator corresponding to the product to determine whether the download URL should be enabled.
-
If Help Text has been entered in this configuration screen, the user is directed to this Help Text, which provides information on running the download, and may include a link to the Help URL and/or Download URL.
-
If a Download URL has been entered in this screen, users access this link to run the download.
-
If a Download URL has not been entered in this screen, the user can access the download from the default download URL link provided by Time and Attendance and Staffing and Scheduling.
-
-
If Help Text is not provided, the user is directed to the Download URL (if provided) or to the default download URL provided by Time and Attendance and Staffing and Scheduling.
-
If a Download URL has been entered in this screen, users access this link to run the download.
-
If a Download URL has not been entered in this screen, the user can access the download from the URL link provided by Time and Attendance and Staffing and Scheduling.
Note:
Indicator settings to enable installation downloads are configured on . See System Checker Application Indicator/Parameter Configuration for more information.

Evaluated Components
Evaluation of the components is based on the user's permission settings:

The version is evaluated for all users. When the end-user accesses the login screen, the browser version and OS are verified. If the browser or OS is not supported, then based on the Web Application Indicator System Standard 3 setting, the system will either grant or deny the end-user access to the system and a warning message is generated. |
|
Microsoft® .Net Framework |
The version is evaluated for users with access to the Schedule policy. |
|
Microsoft® .Net Code Access Security Settings |
The version is evaluated for users with access to the Schedule policy and that have a valid version of the .Net Framework installed. |
