How do I install the timeSensor 365 Client for macOS?


Download

To be able to use timeSensor LEGAL 365, you must install the timeSensor 365 Client App on the individual macOS workstations. 

Click here to go to a page where you can download the installation file.

Download the client app. It is located in your Downloads folder by default. Drag the app into your Documents folder. Double-click to unzip the app.  

Note: The Documents folder is the recommended storage location for the timeSensor client under macOS, as users have full read and write permissions there. Please do not install the client in the general Applications folder, as read and write permissions are restricted there.


If more than one person works on the same computer but logs in with different profiles, the client app must be downloaded separately for each user and installed in the Documents folder!

Some server updates also include a 4D database update. If the client then connects to the server, an update of the client is also triggered automatically. However, this is only successful if the user has the required rights.

Environment settings

When working with timeSensor LEGAL, the timeSensor client communicates permanently with the 4D database. This requires a faultless network connection. If in doubt, check the connection to the server with a PING test. Make sure that the workstations are connected via LAN. WLAN is not robust enough for a database connection, and even short interruptions can cause the timeSensor client to lose the connection to the 4D database.

Make sure that the workstation does not go into sleep mode by setting the sleep mode option for the computer to Never.
You should also make sure that the language and format settings are set correctly in the corresponding checkbox.
For Germany, select German as the language and Germany as the region
For German-speaking Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein, select German (Switzerland) as the language and Switzerland as the region so that the terms commonly used in Switzerland appear in the application.

First connection to the 4D database

Start the timeSensor client after it has been installed. Normally the timeSensor Client will find the 4D database in the network by itself and the timeSensor LEGAL login window will appear.
If the timeSensor Client does not find the 4D server, a dialogue box for entering the network address of the server appears. Enter the name of the application as shown. For the network address, enter the IP address of the server where the 4D database is located. Click on OK.
Starting the next time is easier because the timeSensor Client has now remembered the IP address of the 4D database and will automatically find the 4D database the next time.
