2025	2023

The Grooper user interface is accessed using a web browser from a URL. The Grooper Web Client is the application that installs the Grooper website on a web server.

• This allows end-level users to process review based steps in a Batch Process in a web browser, without needing to install Grooper on their own machine.
• This allows admin-level users to architect document processing resources like Batch Processes and Content Models in a web browser, without installing Grooper on their own machine.

About

The Grooper Web Client allows end users to process documents using an internet connection alone. With the Grooper Web Client, there is no reason for document review users to install Grooper on their workstations. Instead, Grooper is installed on a web server, and users simply access that server's Grooper Repository (or Repositories) using a web browser. They can process review tasks and edit Batch content using a web-based user interface instead of the traditional thick client. Furthermore, there is no reason for end users to be granted access to the Grooper Repository databases or file stores since only the service user configured on the web server needs those rights.

• The Grooper Web Client makes the review experience more modern, more secure, and more easily distributable.

Furthermore, as of version 2023, the entire Grooper Product Suite (except Grooper Config) is accessible with the Web Client. This means Grooper Design Studio users can do their work over the web as well.

• Grooper Config is an administrative application and must be run locally on the web server. It cannot be accessed remotely with a web browser.
  • Grooper Config is required to create connections to Grooper Repositories and create Grooper Services (like the Activity Processing and Import Watcher services).
