1. How do I create a MIMICS shortcut for my desktop?
If the MIMICS System is accessed through a Network locate the server where MIMICS is saved. Inside the MIMICS Folder look for an exe file which is a file that ends in .exe. Right click over the file and select Send Shortcut To Desktop.
2. How do I access the FTP Site?
Please call your representative or register to join the MIMICS Client Services Website and there will be a link to the FTP site.
3. What do I do if my password is invalid?
First, make sure Caps Lock is disabled. Next, find out from your IT Administrator if your password has expired recently. Also, make sure you are entering the correct User ID. If you know the system tracks bad password entries then you can close out of the log in screen and re-try in 10 minutes. Sometimes, the system will kick you out if you've had numerous failed attempts. Finally, you can contact your IT Administrator who can re-set your password, or the authorized administrator can contact MIMICS for assistance.
4. How do I email the ELF File?
After receiving an error in the system one way to notify us of the problem is to send us the ELF File. First, close out of the system. Right click on the MIMICS Icon on your desktop and select Properties from the list. When the Properties screen appears select Find Target. The MIMICS Folder should appear on your desktop. Click over View in the Menu bar at the top and select Details from the list. Sort the content of the folder by Type (this is the column between Size and Date Modified) and you will see a file type called ELF File if you scroll down the list. Copy that file and paste on to your desktop. Attach this file to the email you are sending to your MIMICS support representative, or alternatively, you can send it to support@emimics.com. Please do not forget to provide your contact information in the email.
5. How do I print a report in PDF?
After selecting Print from the print preview screen the Print screen will appear. There is a check box at the bottom for Print To File. Select that and select the file type from the drop down. It defaults to Text File but you can find PDF File at the bottom. Choose the location to save the document to and select Print.
