For Chrome users Google has created a special browser short cut that removes the url and tabbing associated with a normally accessed browser window. This gives several usability improvements when used with CASK inventory database. It is a feature of chrome and can be used with any given url. In order to benefit from it you will first need to have chrome as a browser installed on your computer. If you do not have this seek help from a colleague.
Using the Chrome browser navigate to the url you wish to access as an application.
In the top right you should see three dots vertically aligned – click on these to reveal the following menu.
Move the cursor down to more tools and expand the menu to the right and then select create shortcut.
You should now be presented with a something similar to the following.
In the field type something memorable and relevant to the application you are accessing and ensure the Open as window is ticked and the hit the CREATE button. In terms of CASK Inventory Database a new icon will now exist on your desktop.
Clicking on this now runs the application in a browser window with reduced boundary and an icon is placed in your system tray which will maintain separation from other browser windows.
