Getting Started

The Touch Application is the on-device interface that allows you to work directly with media using touch. It is designed to be responsive, easy to learn, and suitable for both solo presentations and group collaboration. Becoming familiar with the Touch Application is the first step towards a smooth and efficient workflow.

Logging In to the Touch Application

When the Coll-In device is powered on, the login screen appears. This screen is used to authenticate users before accessing the system.

To log in:

•Power on the Coll-In device

•Wait for the system to complete startup

•Enter your username

•Enter your password

•Select Log In to continue

If login is unsuccessful, check that your credentials are correct or contact your system administrator. User accounts and permissions are managed through the Coll-In Local Web Portal, and your access level determines which features are available within the Touch Application.

Accessing the Touch Application

After logging in successfully, the Touch Application loads automatically. You are taken directly to the main interactive workspace where you can begin working with media.

If the Touch Application does not load:

•Confirm the device has finished logging in

•Restart the device if the screen is unresponsive

•Check that no administrator maintenance mode is active

Once loaded, the interface is ready for touch interaction.

Understanding the Home Screen

When the Touch Application opens, the main workspace is displayed. This workspace forms the base for all interaction with media.

The home screen typically includes:

•An empty workspace where media can be displayed and manipulated

•Access points for loading media or collections

•System or session controls, depending on configuration

No media is shown initially, providing a clear starting point for presentations or collaborative sessions.

Basic Touch Interactions

The Touch Application supports familiar touch gestures that allow natural interaction with content.

Common gestures include:

•Tap to select or open an item

•Swipe to navigate or dismiss menus

•Pinch to zoom out

•Spread to zoom in

•Drag to reposition media

•Rotate using a two-finger motion

These gestures form the basis of all interaction within the Touch Application and are used throughout presenting, annotating, and arranging content.

Preparing for First Use

Before starting a presentation or collaborative session:

•Open a media item to see how it behaves on the workspace

•Try resizing or rotating content to understand touch responsiveness

•Familiarise yourself with the available workspace tools

Spending a few moments exploring the interface helps ensure a smooth experience when presenting or working with others.

Summary

Getting started with the Touch Application involves logging in, accessing the workspace, and learning the core touch gestures used to interact with media. With these basics in place, you are ready to move on to more advanced features covered in the following sections.
