The MWS Configuration section of Viewpoint Configuration lets you set up a connection to Moab Web Services.
The MWS configuration is crucial to the functionality to Viewpoint. The first time you launch Viewpoint, you will automatically be directed to the MWS Configuration page (for details, see Fields: MWS Configuration) to set up your MWS connection. No other Viewpoint pages will be available to you until the connection is successfully made. Likewise, if there are external changes to your MWS instance and the MWS-Viewpoint connection is broken, the next time you log in to Viewpoint, you will be automatically directed to the MWS Configuration page to make updates and re-establish the MWS connection.
