SDL Desktop - First Time Log In

This guide is for new SDL Desktop users setting up GeoClient for the first time. Follow these steps when you need to select or add the correct server so the login screen shows your town name instead of "Township Name," then log in with your credentials.

  1. The first time that the GeoClient is opened, the login screen will say Township Name. This means that the server has not been selected for the GeoClient to communicate to.
