Viz Now User Guide

Version 1.0 | Published May 24, 2023 ©

Working with Apps (AWS)

Any user can access the Apps within a Space that they created or are assigned to. There are different ways to interact with an App depending on the defined App properties.

Allowed IP

To be able to access any app your public IP must be whitelisted. This should happen automatically when clicking the buttons on the App.

  • If you have Editor or Admin rights to a Space, the IPs that have been allowed, can be viewed and edited by selecting the Allowed IP menu from the Space.

  • If an IP is removed, the user behind the IP will no longer have access.

Virtual Windows Instance Apps

Apps that are installed on virtual windows instances (for example, Viz Vectar Plus), require the user to log into the App session, using a third party remote desktop client.

NICE DCV Client Software

The NICE DCV client software has to be installed on the local machine before the user is able to access the instance. If the software is installed the user can download a small shortcut script that opens the remote session.

  1. Click the download button. This will download a .dcv shortcut file that can be saved (for example, onto your desktop). If the NICE DCV client application is installed on your machine, this automatically logs you in. You may rename it to something that makes sense to you.

    Note: Keep the .dcv file secure, it contains the credentials needed to log into the App.

  2. Click Open file in the browser (usually upper right corner).

Web Browser-based NICE DCV

NICE DCV can also be opened in a browser window. You will not get the same low latency benefit with this approach but works well when inspecting Apps.

  1. Click the Open button

  2. Viz Now will copy the password to your clipboard (you might need to allow this)

  3. A new browser will be opened

  4. Paste the password into the Log in menu and connect
