Insight Tech Console User Guide

Using the Console

The use model for Tech Console is quite similar to Insight Teacher consoles. On the Tech Console
computer, you will see a small Insight icon in the system tray. The system tray is located in the
bottom right corner of your computer screen. You will use this menu to access the Tech Console
when installed on a Windows computer. On a Mac, the Tech Console menu can be accessed from
the dock icon.

More advanced features are available once you launch the console. The console can be accessed by
“left-clicking” on the Tech Console system tray icon or dock icon or launching it from the Start
menu on Windows or the Applications folder on Mac.

In the console, the key product features are available as icons on the toolbar, or from items on the
menu. It is also possible to right-mouse click on computer thumbnails to access available features.

When selecting computer thumbnails, we recommend using ctrl-a to select all computers or hold
down the ctrl key and click with your mouse to select a group of computers. On the Mac use
command-a to select all computers. In the thumbnail view you can select multiple computers by
just selecting them with the mouse.

When using the toolbar buttons, a single click enables that feature and presses the button.
Another click will disable that feature, just like a toggle switch.
