Basic requirements for Amphora workplace

Setting up an Amphora workplace may require certain IT knowledge, such as configuring web browsers and installing software. Some operations, such as installing the Amphora Client and Outlook interface, require administrator rights on the computer. Therefore, this guide is primarily intended for those who help organization users set up their workplaces. Some general requirements for the workplace:

  • Amphora Professional is web-based software, so the user's computer must have an internet connection.
  • The oldest supported operating system is Windows 10. Amphora also works with free or Apple operating systems, but the use of some individual features may be limited.

Web browser setup

Amphora Professional works with the most popular browsers: Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

Pop-up windows: If the computer has a pop-up blocker, allow Amphora pop-ups.
For example in Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Site Settings → Pop-ups and redirects → add your organization's Amphora web address (example: https://server.amphora.ee)

ID-card, Mobile-ID and Smart-ID

You can log into Amphora and sign documents using ID-card, Mobile-ID and Smart-ID.

If the computer lacks the software necessary for signing with an ID-card, install it from https://installer.id.ee/.

  • For logging in, it is necessary that the user has a personal identification code added.
  • To use Mobile-ID, it is also necessary to fill in the GSM field by adding the phone number without spaces (e.g. 5123456).

To add personal data, go to: Admin -> Users -> click on the user's name -> fill in the necessary fields (Personal identification code, GSM) -> save.

!Personal identification code and GSM users Alternatively, you can configure contact information under Admin -> Personal settings -> Contact information*.

!Personal identification code and GSM contact information***

Organization's digital stamp

In Amphora, it is possible to sign documents with the organization's digital stamp. For this, it is necessary that the ID-card software, SafeNet Authentication Client software, is installed on the computer. In addition, a crypto stick is also needed. The crypto stick must be connected to the computer before signing.

Signing with the organization's digital stamp only works through the wizard. If a document sent through processing or delegation needs to be signed, then you must press the Sign button in the Forwards panel and then wizard signing will open.

!WizardIn addition, it is possible to sign directly from the list view or document/letter editing view with a crypto stick (digital stamp).

When selecting a signature certificate, you must definitely choose the organization's certificate, not the person's certificate.

Signing

For signing with Mobile-ID and Smart-ID, no web browser settings are required. It is enough if the personal identification code and phone number are added in the personal settings in Amphora (see also "ID-card, Mobile-ID and Smart-ID").

For signing with ID-card, ID-card software is required, which can be installed from here. In Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox web browsers, an extension called Token Signing must also be enabled for signing.

Google Chrome - to enable the extension, open Google Chrome customization and control -> More tools -> Extensions. Turn on the extension called Token signing.

!Chrome Token signingMozilla Firefox - open Mozilla Firefox menu and then add-ons (Ctrl + Shift + A). There is a menu on the right side and from there select Extensions. If the Token signing extension is disabled, then enable it.

!Firefox Token signing***

Scanning

In Amphora Professional, it is possible to scan documents.

For scanning to work, you need:

  • The scanner must have a TWAIN interface.
  • The user's computer must have a plug-in (Chrome), add-on (IE, Firefox) called DynamicWebTwain in the internet browser. To install DynamicWebTwain, you need to open the scanning view in Amphora (e.g. by pressing Load document -> Scan), click on the Start to Download link and install the component.
  • The user's computer must detect the scanner.
