Getting Access to the Instance
Instances
Instances are small apps within Pitcher. Each app can have its own user interface, features, and own content. A User of Pitcher can have access to multiple instances, that needs to be cross checked with the system administrator. There are various ways to access the instance(s).
Login with Password
With Username and Password
If the user is provided with username and password, then the same can also be used to login to the particular instance. Login with Password also provides option of login using the SSO.
It is important to note that during the first login the user has to be online but afterwards the app can be operated in offline mode as well.
