Recently, The world-wide Coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic has had an impact on us all, and in all aspects of our daily lives. As a result, there are restrictions on what we can and can’t do in many countries.

Nowadays, Many offices have been offering their employees the opportunity to work from home. So, they must have the appropriate technical infrastructure in place. For instance, some of them are entering uncharted territory. In addition, quite a few would have usually worked within the office with access to a shared data storage system. In the home office, the question arises as how engineers/architects can continue working on their projects without a direct connection to it. Most importantly, Allplan software offers three possibilities here for all infrastructure constructions:

1. Allplan Share: Together in the Cloud

Above all, Allplan Share cloud solution is ideal for continuing to work on a project, together with others structure engineers/civil engineers/architects at home. Firstly, ALLPLAN must be installed on the computer, and used as a single workstation without access to a central file storage folder. Otherwise, the program will not start. Secondly, If the computer used is a member of a workgroup installation, so it must first be checked out of the workgroup in the office. Thirdly, Allplan Share must allow multiple users to access, so all team member work on a project simultaneously. In addition, the basic requirement is, of course, that the project is also in the cloud.

2. Continue working alone with Workgroup Manager

If you want to continue working on your project alone, there are two possibilities. Firstly, if Workgroup Manager included in the license. In this situation, the computer in the office can be checked out of the workgroup environment and then taken home. Secondly, the projects can be moved and copied on the computer and if copied, the original can be locked on the server.

3. Continue alone without a Workgroup Manager

If the office computer used in the home office during an installation without Workgroup Manager, Allplan must first uninstall and then reinstall using the local paths. If another computer is used, you need to return the license to the office computer, after that, install it on the home computer. Corresponding projects are imported into the local installation using a traditional data backup.
