Getting Started

Brief introduction
Brief introductions are document series where a rough overview is given about our products. Part of the documentations is intended use case and main functions. This documentation is not by all means a substitute to detailed training, but they can help the users with quick start. Link to: Brief Inroduction

Q-DAS Launcher
How to open DFQ files with qs-STAT, solara.MP or other Q-DAS application has been a recurring question on the hotline in the past. Unfortunately, the operating system can only associate one application with a file type that will open the file on double-click. This is why the Q-DAS Launcher was developed. The Q-DAS Launcher can be linked to the DFQ and DFD files during installation - or subsequently. In this way, double-clicking on a DFQ or DFD file will open the Q-DAS Launcher, where a Q-DAS product can be specifically selected to analyse the data. The Q-DAS Launcher is the central launch platform for starting the various Q-DAS applications or selecting a different release per product. Link to: Q-DAS Launcher

Q-DAS Tools Launcher
Q-DAS Tools is the central launch platform for the administrative Q-DAS applications. It is a collection of tools for managing Q-DAS licences, creating and updating databases and monitoring uploads. Link to: Q-DAS Tools Launcher

User Management
User administration is one of the key elements. The options available in User Management, how to configure groups and users, and how to manage and distribute the user configuration with the Configuration Management is part of a separate topic. Link to: User Management

Ribbons
The ribbon bar is the basic tool for working with the Q-DAS product. It consists mainly of tabs that display commands, options and functions in groups. The ribbon bar is dynamic, meaning that the components available depend on the product, user group, and context. The default ribbon does not include all commands. Some of the commands have become redundant due to customer requests and restructuring of various versions. How to customise and use the Ribbon Bar is explained in separate topic. Link to: Ribbon Bar

A separate topic explains the icons in the ribbon bar. The topic is based on the menu navigation (ribbon bar) of the Q-DAS Product Line Desktop Products. Link to: Menu Navigation Desktop Products

Overview of the application path 
The "Directories" dialogue provides the paths used by the Q-DAS applications. These are, for example, the default masks, reports, logo or default directory for DFQ files. An overview of the various configurations for the directories and paths that are used by the Q-DAS applications is part of a separate topic. Link to: Q-DAS Application Paths

Logo configurations options 
In addition to explaining the options available for including graphical objects in reports, the "Logo in Reports" topic also explains how to replace the logo in the default reports with a custom logo. Link to: Logo in Reports

Default Reports
Reports are one of the tools for the simple presentation of data collected and evaluated in Q-DAS applications. Properly configured and used, the reports enable evaluation time to be significantly reduced by providing all relevant information at a glance. The standard installation includes a number of predefined reports that demonstrate the various features of the Q-DAS software. An overview of the folder structure used and the reports included is described in a separate topic. Link to: Default Reports

Logo configurations options 
This document describes how to switch the logo in the reports provided by standard into an own logo.

The available languages from version 14.0.2.x (release date September 2022) and how to use them in the Q-DAS software are described in the "Languages in the Q-DAS software" topic. Link to: Languages in the Q-DAS software
