The Dolcera Dashboard is an interactive web application used to:
# Organize large quantities of patent, scientific and product literature
# Manage patent management and review workflows
# Assist in collaboration with colleagues and partners around the world
# Help technology teams, patent counsels, and key decision makers in monitoring the competitive landscaping and finding key partners
===Workflow===

==Deployment Architecture==
[[Image:Deployment Architecture.png|thumb|center|501px700px|Dolcera Dashboard Deployment Architecture]]
==Hardware Requirements==
The Dolcera Dashboard requires the following application server configuration:
* 64-bit server
* 4-core processor with a minimum speed of 3 2 GHz
* Ethernet card
* Minimum memory configuration: 8GB DDR3 RAM
* Minimum disk requirement: 10 TB 2TB hard disk
===Database Server===
* Per client database server standards
===Network===
* The bandwidth to client devices offered by the web application server should be at least 10Mbps* The connection between the web application server and the database server should be at least 100Mbps* A continuous network connection is required between the user's device and the web application server* The , and between the web application server should ideally support a 10Mbps connectionand the database server
===Client Device===
* The client application runs on any device that supports an Adobe Flash-enabled web browser
* A desktop or laptop computer with 1GB of available memory, any operating system (e.g. Windows, Linux, Mac OS) and a high-speed Internet connection will be capable of running the Dolcera Dashboard application
* A 1Mbps or faster network connection to the server will be sufficient to run the application
===Software Installation===
====Database Server====
The following steps should be performed by a database administrator:
# Configure the database server with the appropriate database version (specified in the [[#Software Requirements|Software Requirements]] section)
# Download the Dolcera Dashboard database setup files (Dolcera_Dashboard_Database_vxxx.zip) to the database server from the location provided by the Dolcera representative
# Unzip the files in a folder of your choice (e.g. /tmp folder)# Create a new database named ''dolcera'' # Run the file dolcera_dashboard_setup.sql to create the tables and other database objects: the setup script will also populate the master data for the database, and create a ''dolcerauser'' with privileges to change the data in the database, but not to alter the database; this user account will be used by the web application
====Web Application Server====
# Download the Dolcera Dashboard installation package (Dolcera_Dashboard_vxxx.zip) to the web application server from the location provided by the Dolcera representative
# Unzip the folder in any directory (e.g. /tmp)
# Install Move the dolcera_dashboard_vm folder to the virtual machines folder on the web application server (e.g. /var/lib/vmware)# Create a new vmware virtual machine instance for the Dolcera Dashboard on a # Point the new vmware virtual machine instance to the dolcera_dashboard_vm folder of your choice on # Set the web appnetwork preferences for the virtual machine to bridged networking# Edit Launch the following information new virtual machine# Log in with the root password supplied by the Dolcera representative# Change the database IP address setting as appropriate in the /srv/httpd/htdocs/dashboard/config/config.ini file#* Assign a fixed IP address of for the database servervmware instance and note this IP address# Once the software installation is complete, log into the application:#* Database administrator username and passwordURL: http://''ipaddress_of_web_application_server''/auth/#* IP address of the web application serverUsername: admin# Run the installer as superuser * Password: admin (sudoyou will be able to change the password thereafter)
===Configuration ParametersSetting up the Environment===Once the software installation is complete, log * Log into the application:URL: http://localhost/auth/as an administrator as described aboveUsername: admin* Click on the link to the "Admin Interface"Password: admin (you will be able * Create a new project* Create a new group and assign the project to this group* Create a new user and assign this user to the new group* Create a new dashboard and add the dashboard to change the password thereafter)project
===Best Practices===
====Server Setup====# Latest database The vmware virtual machine based installation of the web application server is designed for ease of installation and management# If vmware is not preferred, a different installer will be provided to run the web application directly on the server patchesoperating system# Database backup Apply the latest database and recovery optionsoperating system patches on the servers#Change the admin password at regular intervals ==Using # Set up the Dashboard==database for backup on a nightly basis===Dashboard Layout=User Management=====Adding Patents=====FAQ==# Remove users once they leave the company # Assign access to dashboard workfiles to users individually# Limit the access for the administrator role
