EQuIS Geotech Installation and Configuration

For EQuIS Online (EOL) clients, an EQuIS Geotech "seed" database is available. This database is completely configured and contains the EQuIS Geotech Demo Project (facility). Contact your EarthSoft Sales representative or Account Manager to use this option.

To install EQuIS Geotech on an existing EQuIS database or to setup a new database without using the "seed" database, follow the installation and configuration instructions provided in this chapter.

In addition to the installation and configuration steps, administrators will also need to define Roles, setup system Users, and assign Permissions to roles and users.

Installation Overview

Warning: As part of the EQuIS software suite, EQuIS Geotech uses EQuIS Enterprise, Professional, Collect, and EnviroInsite. These other EQuIS products must be installed prior to installing and configuring components related to EQuIS Geotech.

EQuIS Geotech includes a separate Schema, format files, numerous standard reports and templates, widgets, and configured dashboards. Each of these components need to properly installed and configured.

Since EQuIS Geotech is designed to use standard "out-of-the-box" reports and Enterprise dashboards, standard reference values must also be present in the EQuIS database for EQuIS Geotech to operate correctly.

EQuIS Geotech must be setup in a specific order for all the components to be available and operate properly. Follow the installation and configuration instructions provided in this chapter and linked help articles.

1.Download the EQuIS Geotech zip file from the Products\EQuIS Geotech folder on the Downloads Dashboard on the EarthSoft Community Center (ECC). Details of the files provided in the EQuIS Geotech package are provided in the next section. Also download the files for Enterprise, Collect, and EnviroInsite.

2.Install the same build of Enterprise, Collect, and EnviroInsite to the site. See the linked instructions for each of these EQuIS applications.

3.Follow the instructions in the EQuIS Geotech Database Configuration article, which includes uploading the EQuIS Geotech Demo Project.

4.Follow the instructions in the Collect Template Configuration for EQuIS Geotech article to upload and configure the standard Collect templates for EQuIS Geotech.

5.Follow the instructions in the EQuIS Geotech Enterprise Configuration article.
