[WBI Features] [How it works]  [Requirements] [Licensing] [Trial]

WBI is a web browser interface designed to meet the needs of your staff "on the road" - providing them with live access to your  AyaNova data using any regular web browser and Internet access. No installation is needed on the part of your field staff, they just enter your WBI address and log in.

And your clients can also log in via WBI and request service.

In addition to the details below, we encourage you to review the AyaNova WBI Help which provides detailed information on all features as well as screenshots and tips on use.

You can also check out a demo of WBI on our partner Hosted Turn Key provider's HaveAByte.com site

How it works

The remote access web server WBI uses IIS as a "bridge" to provide pre-formatted web pages to the remote user's web browser transferring data called from the AyaNova database to display on the users web page, and receiving data entered by the user via their web page.

The remote user just needs a web browser, an Internet connection, the URL of the WBI login (your external IP address and port number for the remote access web server), and an AyaNova remote username and password.

When the IP address and port number of the remote access web server is entered as a URL in the remote user's web browser, it brings up the remote access web server login screen via a web page.

If the remote user is a client, it will display client related web pages such as to request service, or to view that clients service workorders.

If the remote user is an AyaNova user, it will display user related web pages that the AyaNova administrator has given the remote user access to - such as Scheduled List grid and ability to create and update service workorders. Additional access to other features can be provided.

Remote access web interface user requirements:

Internet connection:

• The faster the Internet connection the faster the response of data displaying on your web browser.

Compatible web browsers:

• Internet Explorer 7
• Mozilla FireFox 3

If your web browser is not listed here, it just means we haven't tested with it or specifically coded for the specific requirements your web browser may need.

Web browsers not listed here may work just fine, or they may encounter issues displaying certain features, such as using the filter feature. We encourage you to try WBI out with your web browser, and if you have any issues, be sure to send us full details including the web browser and version you are using.

URL to access the WBI login page:

• Once you have set up WBI as per the WBI Help file,  just provide the URL to your WBI login page to your staff and clients. For example, you can provide a link on your website.

Login username and password:

• Once you have set up WBI,  just provide usernames and passwords to your staff and clients to login. 

Remote access web interface server requirements:

Operating system requirements:

• Windows 2000
• Windows XP
• Windows 2003
• Windows Vista
• Windows 7

Additional software:

• IIS 5 or higher
• Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5 or higher (and all latest Microsoft recommended service patches)

Minimum Hardware:

• As with the AyaNova database server, the higher the hardware specifications, the better the performance. If you are encountering slow response, you will want to upgrade your hardware. Minimum requirements would be that required for an IIS server.

• The AyaNova WBI server files takes approximately 40MB of hard drive space
• Static internal IP address on the IIS server
• Full time connection to the Internet
• Static Internet IP address for your Internet router

AyaNova related:

• WBI is not a replacement for the AyaNova program, WBI is an extension of the AyaNova program.

• For initial setup and configuration, the latest version of AyaNova must be installed and operational on IIS server

• WBI needs to access a database server due to the nature of IIS - you can not use WBI with a stand-alone default installation of AyaNova. Please refer to the AyaNova Help section on network configuration.
