Text Guide
1) The Company Portal application should be deployed already to your laptop by IT Support. Click Start and search for Company Portal
2) The application will sign you in using the account that you're signed into the Windows device with. This should be your Office 365 account.
Applications are granted access to individual users by IT Support. If you don't see the application you need on this list, please contact support@sast.org.uk requesting access.
The Home tab within the Company Portal app will show you Featured and Recently published applications. If you don't see the application you're after from here, select Apps from the left hand side menu.
3) Select the application that you would like to install. For the sake of this guide, we will install ActivInspire.
You'll see information about the application, version numbers, if this is installed on your device already (IT Support may have enforced applications to install on your device already), and the date that this application was added to the portal.
When you're ready, click on Install to the right.
When you select Install, this will schedule the application to be downloaded and installed on your device. This typically happens within 10 seconds or so. You will get notifications from your device when this has started to download and install, as well as when this has successfully been completed.
Please note, some applications are quite large in size, and depending on your network connection speed this may take a long time to download from the internet.
4) Once this has been installed on your device, you'll see this within the Company Portal like so:
You can now search the start menu for this application and run this as usual.
If you have any issues with the application, you can select Reinstall from the Company Portal App, which will remove and re-install the application again.
If there is any applications that you would like added to the Company Portal app, please send over your request to support@sast.org.uk
