Smart Materials/Smart Reference Data Version
10.1

If you want to start Smart Materials from Smart Materials Web, follow the instructions in this topic.

For Windows, the ADM and ADMX policy templates are available. Verify which type you can use on your network.

The templates show which registry keys you can set to configure Chrome and which are acceptable values. Chrome uses these registry keys values to determine how to act.

These templates are required to initiate agreement creation from Smart Materials Web (APEX) Inquiry module, because the Agreements task currently resides in Smart Materials (WPF).

  1. Download Chrome policy templates using Download Google Chrome Bundle under How to quick-start in Windows.

  2. Unzip the downloaded bundle.

  3. Open the ADM or ADMX template.

    The template can be found under Configuration\adm\en-US or Configuration\admx\en-US (or another language specific sub-folder).

  4. Press WINDOWKEY + R, type gpedit.msc and click OK. (Or run gpedit.msc in your terminal).

  5. Right-click Administrative Templates and select Add/Remove Templates.
