How to get started

The steps required to begin working with Customer Monitor:

2. Initial settings of CM portal - will be prompted automatically after login to the CM Portal. Read more about initial settings in the section CM Portal >> Initial settings of CM portal.

3. Adjust Helpdesk - description of Helpdesk settings is in the section Helpdesk Customer Desk. Contact us for optimal configuration in your company, the presentation regarding (not just) Helpdesk in CM, will be of your benefit.

4. Create first company (customer) in the CM portal - read more about creating a company (customer) in the section Creation of customer.

5. Create operator accounts and access for customers - procedure of creation of an operator account is described in the section Operators and groups and creation of a customer account is described in the section Customer account

6. If you´re going to use technical functions of CM, install the C-Monitor clients (for Win, OS X, Linux/FreeBSD) – procedure for installation of clients to computers, as well as supported OS versions are described in sections C-Monitor Windows client,  C-Monitor Linux client and C-Monitor (Mac) OS X client

After fulfilling steps 1-5, the system is ready for :

  • Work with helpdesk Customer Desk
  • Manual hardware evidence

After fulfilling step 6, the system is ready for :

  • View of computers data (HW configurations, installed software, selected OS setting)
