 Picture DoIT Departmental Tech Support - Software Offers are the easiest way a non-administrator user can install applications on their computer. Software available includes Adobe Creative Cloud, common browsers, mail clients, chat programs and productivity tools. Software installed via offers installs in the background only troubling the user with a small message indicating when the installation starts and ends.
 Picture The [Link for document 34037 is unavailable at this time] dashboard lets you set the power management settings you want and then makes sure they stay set so you don't have to worry about it. Power Management choices can be as simple as turning the monitor off after 15 minutes or can be set more aggressively to put your computer into standby mode when it hasn't been used for 30 or 60 minutes.
