titleDesktop Client

There may be a slight delay the first time you launch the Aptify Desktop client, since the system needs to download the startup items and related components. The response time improves for all subsequent logins.

 

Once Aptify has loaded all the required components and established a connection with the database, the Aptify Desktop client displayscan be seen. See The Aptify Desktop for information on the desktop's features.

Aptify Desktop
To navigate within the Desktop client, you can use either the Ribbon, Navigation Bar, or both. See Aptify Button and Navigation Bar for information on these navigation options. In addition to the Folder List, which is familiar to users of Aptify 4.x and earlier, is still available to those users who prefer to use it even though it does not appear in a user profile by default. See Folder List for more information about accessing this feature.
