''For info on how to set up a new collector, see [[Setting up a New Data Collector]]''


== Kit ==
== Instructions ==
Stuff to take to a location to set up a laptop:
(as of 2026-02)(as of 2025-01)
* laptop
=== Digital Health device permissions / groups ===
* charger
* Instructions: refer them to '''"CCMDB laptop"''' in their knowledgebase '''Support Documents library, Configuration Specification category'''. Contact Brandon Deamel for backup info if there is a problem.
* [[SD Card]] (use the one from the previous laptop if this is a replacement)
* configuration set:  named '''"WRK_ICFG_REG_CCMDB Laptops"'''
* mouse
* the laptop needs to be in the OU '''"Standard/applications/CCMDB laptops"'''
* some of the things managed by this:  
** give RW rights to public desktop
** give access to  and to set trusted directories etc.
** rights to make RW to the following directories in root of C:\ (I think)
** access to [[:Category:Hospital EPR]]  


== Laptop Prep ==
=== Additional things Digital needs to set up ===
=== eHealth Prep ===
* and the appropriate printer from [[Printer]]s - ask to set up local printer as per [[Printer]], for '''all users'''
Any new laptop needs to be image by eHealth.
* need to ask Digital Health to make them since default rights don't allow making directories on C:\
** C:\ccmdb_data
** C:\ccmdb_data\ccmdb_batches
** C:\ccmdb_program


Send an email to the service desk with the following info:
=== Portion with collector logged in ===
* '''Novell ''' - '''''Don't''''' include the client even for sites that use it, these laptops will just log into AD since that's all that's needed to access the regional server
Collector or someone in OU DAT_REGION_ICU_DATA_COLLECTION needs to be logged in for this.
* '''Pointsec''' - laptops use a '''different version''' than standard (in Start Menu/Checkpoint)
* '''MS Access''' - this is no longer part of the standard image so it needs to be requested (or you'll have to add it later, see instructions below)
* '''admin rights''' - for Tina Tenbergen, Linda Hathout and Kym Morris
* '''wireless networking''' - the laptop needs to be added to a group to make this work
*'''local printer''' - ehealth to set up if know destination of laptop


=== BIOS Settings ===
* run [[Regional Server]]\maintenance\[[Desktop_install.bat]]
Change BIOS settings to save power (if settings are available)
** CCDMB
* disable wireless in locations that don't use wireless
*** if it doesn't install [[CCMDB.accdb]] - follow [[Copying down a clean version of CCMDB.accdb]]
** as of 2011-02-02 only STB and VIC use wireless
**** which automates copying ccmdb_data.mdb from [[Regional Server]]\data\master to c:\ccmdb_data
* disable bluetooth
** ccmdb_data
*** restore the collector's data - ideally this will have been backed up and restored from the old laptop
**** if not, do a [[CCMDB data.mdb restore from Regional Server]]
*** if this is a brand new laptop that doesn't replace an old one, copy the newest version from [[Regional Server]]\data\master and rename it to get rid of the version portion of the name


=== With Any Internet Connection ===
* [[News and Backup]]
* Windows Update (update.microsoft.com - use custom and '''do not''' download Service Pack3 or Internet Explorer 7 or 8)
** ideally the file was recovered from the old laptop and restored
* Firefox (less buggy for wiki editing) [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/ http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/]
*** if the file wasn't recovered, see [[News_and_backup#Setting_up_the_file_on_a_laptop]]
**Allow Firefox to open and '''import explore settings'''
* Install MS Access
** Add/Remove programs, MS Office, Change, make sure Access checkbox is checked
* clean up Startup menu in Start Menu, Programs (remove programs we don't use - should be empty except ST B who need Citrix)
* [[Encrypting SD card using TrueCrypt | Encrypt the SD card]]
* set password for screensaver (rightclick desktop, properties, screensaver tab, checkbox password)


=== On WRHA Network ===
== Testing ==
* [[Admin Rights on Laptops]] - add all local users as admins (must be plugged into network for this); see [[:Category:Offices]] for a listing of users at various locations
* [[printer]]
* Run batch job [[Regional Server]]\maintenance\[[laptop files copier.bat]] to copy contents of [[Regional Server]]\maintenance\Laptop Files to C:\ and also gets the newest ccmdb.mdb) including:
* [[News and backup | test news and backup]]
** empty ccmdb_programs and ccmdb_data directories
** if problem confirm/change location settings
** batches directory with following files
*** right-click edit the icon, make sure line starting with ''set ml='' has the correct location in it
*** for [["News and backup" batch file#Setting up the file on a laptop | "News and backup"]]  
* CCMDB
*** Microsoft_access_macro_security_low.reg - used by batch file ins Startup folder
* wiki link
*** MountTrueCypt.bat
* confirm autoupdates are enabled in Firefox
** documents and settings\all users\desktop with following shortcuts:
*** CCMDB wiki (i.e. to http://ltc.umanitoba.ca/ccmdb/) recent changes
*** [[Regional Server]]
*** Wikipedia
*** hours template shortcut
*** SD Card
*** Output Folder

These are stored in the user profile so they have to be set up with the user logged in.
If the laptop is net new (ie not a replacement) the following pages might be relevant:

[[Category:New Hire]]
== Train the collector ==
* battery swaps
* turn on/off
* daily [["News and backup" batch file]]
* explain locks + anchors (i.e. if you want one, talk to Trish, but keep in mind that they are awkward to use)
 
==Set Administrative Rights on Local Laptop==
