Options
- Log in with Username ‘Demo’ and password ‘demo’ to test the application.

- Click Register to open the web browser allowing you to create your own personalised login account. This accounts will work with all the Cloud modules.
- Click Help to get web-based assistance on logging in.
- Click Offline to access Projects when away from the network (see below). This mode will limit most modules.
Running Offline

- Click Offline to be able to edit the existing projects already taken out on your computer. Note that you will not be able to do any server tasks such as create any new projects or put projects away. This feature is useful for laptop users who want to edit projects away from the network or if the network is down.
- Even if the network and server is available you can still log in Offline.
Problems Connecting?
- If you are not connected to the network or your computer cannot find the server there is a delay of about 20 seconds after which an error message appears. Click OK to dismiss the error message.
- You can either run offline or try to connect again. Click the red ‘SQL Server Unavailable’ text for DocHaven to try to connect again.
Logging Out of OfficeHaven
- Once you have finished using OfficeHaven you can exit multiple ways.
- Choose ‘Quit OfficeHaven’ from the Application menu (or type Command-Q).
- Choose ‘Logout…’ from the File menu. If you choose the Logout option, you can log into OfficeHaven as another user. Note that since the DocHaven folder is shared, any previous user’s ‘out’ projects are available for editing.
