Logging on to the GV STRATUS application in EDIUS XS

When you log on, the GV STRATUS application assigns GV STRATUS licenses and roles based on your user account credentials, as set by the system administrator in the GV STRATUS Control Panel application. Your credentials must also give you access to all your K2 systems.

From the Windows desktop, do the following:
- Open the the EDIUS STRATUS icon shortcut.
A GV STRATUS Log On dialog box opens.
Enter your username. If you use domain credentials, enter in format <domain>\<username>. For example, if your domain is "gv" and your username is "GVuser", enter gv\GVuser.
Enter your password.
Verify or enter the name of the Control Panel Host for the GV STRATUS Control Panel Service. In most systems, this is the main GV STRATUS Core server.
Click Log On.
The Startup dialog opens.
Select your project settings as follows:
1. Select the location of your project. The default project location is set in EDIUS settings panel in the GV STRATUS Control Panel.
  You can also set to other locations as long as the new location is under the path of the default project location.
2. Enter a project name if you are creating a new project, then click the New button. If you do not specify a project name, a suffix is appended to the default name.
3. Select a project name from the Previous Projects list if you are opening an existing project, then click the Open button.

The EDIUS XS application opens.

GV STRATUS features are enabled according to the roles associated with your log on credentials.
