Quick Start: Once you have installed MAAD2GO onto a computing device, the next step is to set up a catalog library - KB3001: How to Create a New ‘Standard’ MAAD2gO Catalog Library.
Then it is just a matter of adding all your files to the catalog, using either of the following methods; KB3004: How to Add Files to a MAAD2gO Catalog Library. or KB3005: How to BULK Add Files to a MAAD2gO Catalog Library.
All guides below are compiled and available in PDF.
Minimum Operating Specifications : MAAD2GO will operate on any Windows device that upholds Microsoft's minimum specifications & systems configuration environments. Works best on Windows 7 and above.
Software framework(s) : minimum of .NET Framework 3.5 required
User Access\Permission Requirements :
> R\W permission to C:\users\%username%\My Documents\MAAD directory (directory of MAAD required for processing of programs temporary files and storage of users customised configuration.)
> R\W permission to \%installpath%\MAADconfig directory
If utilising a Network configuration – user requires R\W access to:
> \\Network Share location\%installpath%\MAADconfig directory
> \\Network share location to storage location of catalog files (required only if user to edit catalog)
R\W : Read \ Write permissions
Minimum Operating Specifications : Server device to store Network Shared Version of MAAD2gO and associated Catalog Libraries. The MAAD2gO software itself operating in network mode does NOT utilise server CPU resources to operate. It is merely a storage location for catalog libraries that the users access plus handles licence checking, and a copy of MAAD2gO only needs to be copied to a shared server location, NOT installed as required on a user’s PC. Therefore, the network version of MAAD2gO can reside on a SAN, NAS, Cloud Server or shared PC, as long as underlying network infrastructure (UNC, Mapped Network drives, etc) supports user traffic, permission access and response times to \ from required device.
Storage Allowance : 16 GB available hard disk space*
* Can be larger depending on catalog library design
Software Framework(s) : If utilising SQL Server, then either SQL Server Express, SQL Server 2008 R2 or above (* Required only if catalog library storage resides in SQL Server, and utilises a Trusted Connection for user access).
Access\Permission Requirements : If utilising a Network configuration – user requires R\W access to:
> \\Network Share location\%installpath%\MAADconfig directory
> \\Network share location to storage location of catalog files (required only if user to edit catalog)
Common mapped drive(s) or R accessibility to file storage location.
R\W : Read \ Write permissions
