Vantagepoint Toolbar (Desktop)

Certain options are always available in the toolbar at the top of the screen, wherever you are the Vantagepoint desktop application.

Field Description

Back Arrow Click this button to return to the application that you were previously working on.
Forward Arrow Click this button to return to the application that you were working on before you used the Back Arrow.

Collaboration Click this button to launch Collaboration.

If your firm's Collaboration Business token is entered in Collaboration Account Key on the General System Settings form, and if you log on to Collaboration on the Misc tab of the User Options dialog box, you are automatically logged on when Collaboration displays. If your firm's Collaboration Business token is not entered in Collaboration Account Key, or if you have not logged on to Collaboration on the User Options dialog box, you must log on to Collaboration yourself after it displays.

If you use Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 8, Collaboration displays in a separate browser window. If you use Internet Explorer 9 or later, it displays within Vantagepoint.

If the toolbar does not contain a Collaboration option, your system administrator has disabled the option in the web.config file.
