Open+Campus+Portal

=**Below are instructions for how to use Parkland’s new Open Campus network applications:**=

==1. From outside the network students and staff can now go to a web page, @http://portal.parklandsd.org and enter their Active Directory (AD) network login and password. This will bring up a menu of software options.==

2. From inside the network, students and staff will use the web page http://apps.parklandsd.org and again enter their Active Directory network login and password.
==3. The portal will work with both Android and iOS (Apple) mobile devices, ** but it may be necessary to download the free Citrix Receiver app ** in order to use the software on your mobile device. Depending on the device, you may also be prompted to enter a domain. Our domain is **parklandsd** or **parklandsd.org**== ==4. To access your network Home drive files, open up the application that created the document (e.g. Word) and the system is set to automatically default to your home directory. Likewise, when files are saved they will automatically default to saving onto your network Home drive unless otherwise directed, whether you are working on your files from home or school.== ==5. The icons listed on the desktop can be customized for each user by clicking on the + (plus sign) on the left-hand side of the screen, then clicking the All Apps option. This will bring up a list of all applications that are loaded on the server and you may select which shortcuts to add to your desktop. == ==6. To delete an icon from the desktop, the process is to right-click on the icon and select the Remove option. Please note this will not actually delete the software from your account, but simply remove the shortcut from your desktop. It can always be added back in by again clicking the + (plus sign) and selecting the software from the menu of options.==
