Platform

A general overview of the Olive Helps platform

Overview

Olive Helps comprises three main components: the Olive Helps desktop application, the Loop Library, and Loops. The only thing you need to explicitly install is the desktop application.

Desktop Application

The Olive Helps desktop application is distributed as an EXE/MSI or DMG based installer which can be deployed using Group Policy or installed directly by a user with sufficient local privileges. The Olive Helps desktop application has built-in support for automatic version updates and security patches. If users do not have permission to update applications, then you will be required to download and push updates using Group Policies or other similar means.

Users adding a Loop to their own installation of Olive Helps do not require administrative access.
