• EPM Time Card (in the Internet Explorer folder): The time card version of Enterprise Project Management (EPM) for employee time tracking.

You can use iDCRI to go to network drives and folders you have permission to access. There are two ways to access DCRI network drives:

• Remotely accessing the Desktop of a DCRI-issued computer currently running in a DCRI facility and reaching network drives from the standpoint of your work computer. This is the preferred method, as you will have full editing capabiilties.
• Using the Windows Explorer application, discussed below (if the application is available in iDCRI for you). Although this is a quicker way to reach files in the network, you have severely limited editing capabilities: while you are in iDCRI you can only use applications available in iDCRI for the editing. For example, since there is not an application available in iDCRI for video editing, you cannot work on video files in iDCRI/Citrix by using Windows Explorer. To edit a file using a non-iDCRI application, you must copy the file to your local drive to to open, edit, and save the file, and then upload it back to the network drive.

1. Click Windows Explorer.

   A Windows Explorer window opens, displaying DCRI network drives.

   
2. Click the drive you want. (The C$ drive is your local computer's own hard drive.)
3. Explore the contents of the drive (that you have permission to access). if you are denied access to a server or folder you require for work, contact the DCRI Service Desk.

You can send print jobs from your local computer only to the printers appearing in your Devices and Printers control panel. You cannot use iDCRI to add a DCRI network printer to your local computer.

Exception: If you access the Desktop of a DCRI-issued Windows computer with the Remote Desktop Connection application, you have access in that window to DCRI network printers.
