GBM Portable V8
2 Installation and Set-up
Installation is via the Install Software link on the install CD. The installation media includes
separate installers for the main GBM Portable system as well as for GBM Mobile Manager
(forms editor) and the GBM Mobile Merge (data integration for MapInfo Professional) subsystems.
2.1
Installation
Double click Setup.exe to start the installer shell. Then choose Install Software from the main
menu. You will need administrator rights to install software. Click each of the installer links in
turn and follow the prompts.
2.1.1 GBM Portable
Click the link to install the GBM Portable program onto your Widows PC. The same
installer may be used to load a normally licensed copy of GBM Portable, or if you do
not have a GBM Portable license key, you can install the software under a 30 day
evaluation license. The main GBM Portable installer also loads the demonstration
data.
There are three installation options, Typical, Custom and Complete.
Select the Complete option to get access to configuration tools such as the MapInfo
MapXtreme Workspace Manager and the GBM Administration Console. When
installed, these administration options are listed on the Tools menu on the main GBM
Portable menu bar.
Select Typical to install only the core mapping software without the set-up and
configuration tools. This option is appropriate for regular users who will not be
involved in software configuration or project set-up.
2.1.2 GBM Forms Editor
The GBM Forms Editor link on the installation CD installs the GBM Forms Editor. Use
this module to define custom forms that control the graphical style that is used to
draw new map objects and manage the editing of GIS attributes.
GBM Forms Editor need only be installed by data administrators who set up the GBM
Mobile style Custom Forms that will be operated by the wider user base. GBM Forms
Editor is not normally installed on all end-user computers.
The GBM Forms Editor is shared with other Global GBM products including GBM
Mobile, GBM Pro and GBM Web. Forms definitions are imported into GBM Portable
through the Manage Forms… option on the GBM Portable menu. Administrators
