How To: Install work station or terminal in Ginesys ERP

In current corporate environment, many workers have such workstations. Since they are personal computers, they can also be used independently of the server assuming they have their own applications installed and their own hard disk storage. 

Setting up of workstations in Ginesys allows multiple users to work in Ginesys ERP simultaneously, each doing a different work.
