It can get frustrating having to open a new tab, type in a URL, and then log into a website before you can do the thing you need to do, we get it. So we created a Chrome browser extension so that you can save time when having to do some common tasks in ConnectSx, like creating an Event or requesting inventory.
The ConnectSx Chrome Extension allows you to access many of the core functions of the system using your browser, from wherever you are on the internet!
Once you install the ConnectSx Chrome Extension, you’ll easily be able to:
Create a new Event
Review the Events List
Review the Events Calendar
Create new Requests
Review the Requests List
Review the Transfers List
You’ll be able to do all of that without having to open Beacon web page!
To Get Started with the ConnectSx Chrome Extension:
1. First, Download the Extension.
In your browser, navigate to the Chrome Extension Web Store
Search for ConnectSx, or use this Link to find the page
Click “Add to Chrome”, then confirm the prompt to add it to your Chrome browser
Next, in the Extensions screen of your browser, make sure the toggle is turned on for that extension.
For easy access to the extension, make sure to pin the Extension to your menu bar
Then you’re ready to go!
2. Log In to your ConnectSx Account in the ConnectSx Chrome Extension
Click on the Chrome Extension to pull up the Login screen
Log In with the same Username and Password that you use to log into the ConnectSx Beacon or vTrakr
If you see this menu, you’re good to go!
3. Start Using the Extension
Click on any of the buttons in the extension to launch the related workflow right in the extension window
Follow the steps that you typically would in Beacon or in vTrakr to enter the necessary information and complete your intended action. For more information on each workflow, please visit the links below:
