Optrix Documentation

Note that this describes the Group Panel found in ARDI clients such as ARDI-VE, ARDI-AR and ARDI-360 only. It does not cover collaboration interfaces found in other products

The Group Panel allows you to…

• See and change your current user name.
• See and change your current group.
• Create a new, temporary group.
• See where other users on the system are

Simply click on the name at the top-right of the Group Panel to change your username.

By default, this will be the ID of your computer (many ARDI clients run on shared systems). However you can feel free to change your name to anything else you would like.

Note that this does not have to be your system username. Nicknames are perfectly acceptable, as long as they are going to be understood by other system users.

To change which group you are in, press the button in the top right of the group header.

Press the '+' button to add a new group. You will be prompted to give it a unique name.

Note that any group you create this way will be temporary - it will destroy itself as soon as all of the members leave. Only system administrators have the ability to create permanent groups.
