Getting Started: Installation Instructions for Windows (Sundial 10.1)
Windows System Requirements
- Kerberos for Windows
- Windows XP or Vista
- 16 MB RAM
- 45 MB hard disk space
Installing Your Windows Client
- Download
the Sundial software for Windows.
- Accept
the default (save the program to disk) and click OK.
- Accept
the default installation destination, or select the drive/folder you
want to save to and click Save. (Depending on your web browser
and how it is configured, the downloaded installer file may appear on
your desktop, or it may be placed somewhere on your hard drive.)
- Find the
downloaded file on your desktop or hard drive. It's called sundial-installer-pc-101.exe.
- Double-click
the sundial-installer-pc-101.exe application icon. The
InstallShield Wizard will guide you through the installation process
and will create a shortcut icon on your desktop.
- Now
you are ready to use your calendar. To launch Sundial, double-click
the Sundial Calendar icon
on your desktop. Alternatively, you can click the Windows Start button
and select Programs, then Oracle Calendar from the pop-up menu.
- On the
Sign-in screen, just click the Sign-in button. You do not need
to enter a user name and password — Sundial uses your Kerberos login
from PC-Leland to authenticate you. If you are not already logged in to PC-Leland,
the PC-Leland login box will prompt you for your SUNet ID and password.
(Later, if you wish to access the calendar off-line, select Off-line
from the drop-down menu and click Sign-in).
- The first
time you Sign-in to your calendar, you will be asked if you want to
create an off-line Agenda. Clicking Yes will allow you use the
Address Book feature and to access your calendar when your computer
is not connected to the network (such as when you are traveling).
- If you
click Yes, you will be asked to create an off-line password.
Enter a password (other than your SUNet ID password) for accessing your
off-line calendar. Whenever you launch your calendar, you will be asked
for your password.
Note: If you do not want to be asked for your password every time you launch your calendar, leave the password box blank and click OK. When you are asked to confirm your password, leave the password box blank and click OK.
- You are
now ready to use your calendar. Upon initial log-in to Sundial, two
windows should be open — one labeled In-Tray and a second window
showing a Day View of your Sundial calendar.
- To switch
to another calendar view, click on the three available options - View
Day
(currently
displaying), View Week 
,
and View Month 
Privacy Settings: The default settings for a calendar account are not the most private, i.e. anyone with a Sundial account can view meeting times only (but no other information) on your calendar, and anyone can invite you to a meeting. If you do not want to allow others to invite you to a meeting or to view your calendar, you must change your preferences by selecting Access Rights from the Tools menu. See the Access Rights section of the Sundial Quick Start Guide
