Forsta Plus Homepage
The Forsta Plus Homepage is common to the majority of Forsta’s applications. When you log in to Forsta Plus, this is the page that opens, and it provides access to all the Forsta applications that you are licensed to use. Click the appropriate icon to go to that application. Note that if you are not licensed to use an application, its icon will not be displayed in the page.
Note:
Applications that do not yet have a Global Navigation icon have the icon beside the application name. These applications will open in a new window, allowing this Homepage to remain open while you are working in the selected application.
A list of new features and functionality currently accessible to you under "Limited availability" is presented on the right side of the Homepage. These items are still undergoing development, but are made available for testing purposes if your company has agreed to trial them. Please note that use of this new functionality for production work is at your own risk.
Global Navigation Icon
The Global Navigation icon in the main toolbar is common to the majority of
Forsta’s applications. It opens a selection overlay providing access
to all the other Forsta applications that you are licensed to use.
If you are logged in to Forsta Plus and you wish to change to a different
application, click the icon and select the appropriate application. Note that if you are not licensed to use an application, it will not be displayed in the overlay.
Icons with an “arrow” icon open Authoring or Reportal, from where you can access the application, while icons without the arrow take you directly to the selected application. Refer to the separate documentation for further information on the various applications.
The SmartHub button beside the Global Navigation icon is always available while you are in SmartHub, and returns you directly to the Hubs list (Hubs List Page with Preexisting Hubs).
Opening the SmartHub Page for the First Time
When you are logged into Forsta Plus and you go to the Home > SmartHub menu item or you click on SmartHub in the Quick Access pane, the SmartHub page opens. If this is the first time you are entering this page and you therefore have not yet created a hub, you are invited to create one.
