TECHNICAL TIPS

If you recently downloaded the new CenterView 2.0 and plan on installing it soon, it is a straightforward process. Installation options are available depending on specific needs, but the installation process is similar across the supported operating systems (Windows and Linux/UNIX).

To get you started with creating a fully functioning CenterView executive dashboard, choose the Developer Install option. This installs the builder application and the Tomcat servlet. The wizard runs in all environments, but if desired, a command-line installation can be performed by launching cordash -console.
