# Logging into 12d Synergy

### 1.1 Connecting to a Server

To open 12d Synergy Client:

On your Desktop=>![](https://cdn.document360.io/36833d89-59e3-46a5-b491-e9aa1b524a85/Images/Documentation/bb4da6c5-7765-48f5-a6fc-1c031e932b9a.png)

If 12d Synergy has not previously been configured to connect automatically to a specific server upon start-up, you will need to enter the server details when the server connection screen appears.

### **1.4. What is a Job?**

Everything within 12d Synergy is grouped into user defined ‘jobs’ – a logical grouping for a piece of work. A job is a container for files and Folders which can be used to store documentation and data relating to a job. A Library of templates, resource materials and widely used documents can be stored in a job. A job will be created at an Administration level. An administrator can create a job in 12d Synergy Administration or from within a job.

### **1.5. What is a Sub Job?**

A job can contain other jobs, folders, task lists, forums or 12d Model Projects. Sub-jobs are created at the top folder level – at the same level as Task List/Team/Forums, i.e. sub-jobs cannot be created in a folder.
