## Chapter 2: The EKM Environment

The features available in the EKM web application depend on the type of machine or device you are accessing the server from. If you are accessing EKM from a desktop or laptop, you have access to the full range of EKM features. From a tablet device such as an iPad or Android, however, some features are not available. This chapter describes the various interface components of the EKM web application. Actions that are not available on devices are noted, and differences in interface features are called out when applicable.

The EKM web client is displayed in a browser window. Resizing the browser window resizes the EKM application. The URL of the current view is displayed in the browser’s address bar. This makes it possible to bookmark individual views for later retrieval. You can open additional browser tabs and windows and have multiple EKM sessions running at the same time. See Making Simultaneous Connections for more information. When navigating, you can use the browser’s back and forward buttons to go to the previous or subsequent view in your navigation sequence.

Note:

- The EKM interface will look different if the workspace that you are accessing has been configured to have a job-only view. For details see Working in a Job-Only View.

- The Webstart applications (the File Transfer Client and EKM Studio) require that your client machine is running Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.8.0, update 121 or greater. The File Transfer Client is a utility used to upload and download files (for example, see Uploading Files Using the File Transfer Client). You use EKM Studio to define process templates (see Launching EKM Studio).
