Web Client - Set up and configuration

About the web client

The Evergreen web client replaced the desktop client with version 3.2 of the Evergreen software.

This document includes links to in-depth information and instructions on configuring Chrome for the web client, logging in and registering workstations, setting up printing, and working with receipt templates.

Chrome Browser

OWWL requires all libraries run the Web Client in the Chrome browser.

1. If not done already, install Chrome on all workstations
2. Plan to keep Chrome up to date
3. Set Chrome to allow Evergreen pop-ups

Staff can access the web client through a bookmark in any Chrome browser, OR set up an Evergreen-specific profile - which will separates Evergreen or service desk-related bookmarks from general web use bookmarks and settings.

Chrome optimization for the web Client

Chrome has a variety of settings that can help libraries manage their Web Client experience, including setting up an Evergreen-specific Chrome profile, establishing the Evergreen login page as the start page, setting Evergreen Home as the browser home, etc. It is recommended that these steps be taken before registering workstations.

Manage browser data

Some client-specific data is stored in the web browser and should NOT be cleared. These settings include:

• workstations
• templates
• offline transactions

They are stored using web technologies called Local Storage and IndexedDB. They can both be cleared when clearing browser history and data.

Clear Cache

Periodically, stored data can cause problems with Evergreen displays, most notably lists. Clear the browser history regularly to mitigate this problem.

1. Open the Chrome settings menu
2. Click More Tools> "Clear browsing data..."
3. Select "Browsing history" and "Cached images and files"
   • Do NOT select "Cookies and other site data"
4. Set Time range to "All Time"
5. Click Clear Data
