Formpak is installed by remote access by Formpak personnel directly onto a computer or server. Initially all of the middleware components must be installed along with the application itself and the initial data. Formpak is accessed through a web browser interface.

Once you have paid the initial 50% of a licence it takes on average two weeks for your system to be built and then it will be remotely installed for you which can take approximately 2 hours.

It is the users’ responsibility to keep their raw material data up to date, however Formpak will update the software with features and functionalities.

Training for Formpak users is given in several ways:

Training Matrix – Our Training Matrix lists all training and help content available (over 120 topics). The list includes target areas and a link to the content and also a date so you can search on the most recently added/reviewed content. There is focused and recommended content for users in specific areas, such as System Admin, Regulatory Affairs, Document Producer, Product Development, Projects and Tasks.

Quick Start Guides – We will send you a set of PDF’s with basic instructions on getting started with the key areas.

Videos – There are many videos on Formpak’s YouTube channel which demonstrate how to use the software. If you don’t have access to YouTube, please let us know and we can make them available as MP4 files for you.

Application Help Centre – In the software itself, press the ‘Help’ button to access the Help Centre which is installed along with the system. The Help Centre contains information about all the areas of the application and in addition has ‘overview’ content which gives background information.

One to one online training – We can organise one to one training using GoToMeeting and teleconferencing so you can receive training specific to you and your team.
