The Portal is designed to work with Internet Explorer (IE) 8 or later. Earlier versions of IE may not display the user interface properly. Although IE8 is the only officially supported browser, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome will also work. Firefox and Chrome have been used extensively during testing.
The DataMart Client application allows the DataMart Administrator to view queries distributed to the DataMart, execute queries locally, review the results, and upload the results to the Portal. The DataMart Client is a .NET/C# Windows desktop application developed by LPP that is installed locally on an Administrator’s desktop. Note the DataMart Client requires Microsoft .NET 4 to be installed on the user’s desktop – see the next section for install information. All communications between the DataMart Client application and the Portal use HTTP/SSL/TLS connections to securely transfer queries and results between the application and the Portal. The application uses ODBC connections to the local DataMart databases used to process queries and generate results.
Microsoft .Net 4 is required to run the DataMart Client. The free download for Microsoft .NET4 is available at the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851
Not sure if you have Microsoft .NET 4? If you do not, you will receive an error message when you try to open the DataMart Client.

Once logged in to your Network Portal, the Resource Tab offers helpful contact information, documentation, and related links, as shown below.

If your site created a new database, use these steps to update your ODBC connection. Note: if the new file has the same name and is in the same location, skip to step 8.
