About

RLC 103 has recently been outfitted with 10 brand new Chromeboxes. This guide will show you how to navigate using them. 

Environment/Legend

Chrome OS 

Starting Your Session

1. You should not have to log into the computer. All you need to do is simply move the mouse to turn the computer screen on. To login to email and other web applications, click on the Chrome icon in the bottom middle of the desktop. It should look like this: 

Using Remotely

You can use the Chromeboxes to remotely access other computers with certain programs/softwares such as AutoCad, MATLAB, and SPSS. For guidance using "Remotely" please refer to this article. 

Launch Button

Clicking on the circular launch button will open a panel which allows you to search the computer for files, search the web via chrome, and access the settings. 

Locating Files During Your Session

Clicking on the blue file folder icon in the bottom middle of the screen will open a new window that allows you to search for files you created or downloaded during your session.

Checking Basic Settings (Network Connection and Audio)

Clicking on the clock on the bottom right side of the screen will open a panel that shows your network connection status and your audio settings. 

Switching Between Different Windows/Applications

If you are working with more than one window or application at a time you can switch between them by clicking on the small circles on the bottom right side of the screen, next to the exit session button. 

Ending Your Session

When you are ready to end your session start by clicking the Red, "Exit session" button at the bottom right of the screen. A window will pop up, from there click "Sign out now". You will be signed out of all accounts closing all open windows, and all files will be deleted.
