Welcome to our Vista Cloud! As you move to the cloud, the vast majority of how you use Vista will remain unchanged. However, there will be some differences in how you access the software and perform operations. These differences can include:
How you access Vista
Printing and scanning
Local file attachments to Vista records
Use of a VPN to access 3rd party software
Please watch this entire video to see an overview of the differences between using Vista on-premise and with VRL (our preferred method): https://player.vimeo.com/video/471384022
Vista may be access in our cloud using two different methods:
Vista Remote Link (VRL): The preferred method, where the Vista client runs locally. Most, not all, operations behave as if you are running Vista on-premise.
Remote Desktop (RDP): Also known as Published Apps or RemoteApps, in this case the Vista client is being run entirely in our cloud. The end user sees a “interactive picture” of what is remotely happening. Though several workflows are different from on-premise in this scenario, RDP might be recommended in certain instances where VRL is not optimal.
There are a number of differences between using Vista on-premise and in our Viewpoint Cloud environment. At a high level, they can be separated in to 3 categories of items:
Heavy Data Entry
Editing and Uploading Custom Reports
Editing and Uploading Create and Send Templates
Many of these items are covered in detail in this cloud vs. on-premise video linked here: https://player.vimeo.com/video/471384022
