9 VectorPro - Vector Cloud Solutions (VCS)

 

Major Feature - Vector Cloud Solutions (VCS).  Create and log into account.

Benefit: VCS is the platform to allow the sharing of new operations that are not available within the UI of VectorPro.  This is located under the Operations Tab.  VectorPro operators may log in to their VCS account from VectorPro by selecting the VCS icon, or if they do not have an account, they can create an account from within VectorPro.

 

 

To register for a VCS accounts users have to fill in mandatory fields: First Name, Surname, Email Address, and a chosen password. Passwords must be 8 characters or greater and contain a mix of upper case, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters.

 

 

On registration, users will receive an email containing a verification code.  This should be entered into the screen below with the password.

 

 

Once the registration process is complete users can log in to VCS by entering their email and password and clicking on the 'Tick' symbol.

 

 

After logging into Vector Cloud Solutions users will see the ALL/LIBRARY screen, where VCS operations will be shown.

 

 

VCS requires an internet connection to upload and download, but once downloads are complete the VCS operations are available offline.

Major Feature - Vector Cloud Solutions:  download VCS operation onto VectorPro timeline.

 

 

 

 

 

Benefit:  Once an account is created and the user is logged in, they can view and download VCS operations that have been created for them by Mecmesin.  Allows the use of VCS operations in the VectorPro timeline.

The creation of VCS operations is not available to the customer.  If an operation or set of operations is required that is/are not available within VectorPro, they need to contact Mecmesin.  If the requirement is feasible then a Mecmesin representative will need to create the VCS operation and upload it to the Vector Cloud, assigned to that customer's registered email address.

Alternatively, Mecmesin can upload commonly required operations for access by all users of the Vector Cloud.
