The basic idea is that you can have the Server store data and run jobs centrally and thereby offload personal and typically smaller computers. For the user, the difference between working just with a Workbench and working with a Workbench and a server is very small. All the mechanisms for managing data, using the tools and visualizing the data are the same.

This user manual is intended to show how to take advantage of the server as a user. For information about administrating the server, please see the Administrator Manual.

The functionality of the CLC Science Server can be extended by installation of Server plugins. The available plugins can be found at .
