This guide is intended to help standardize GIS Software installations on managed and faculty/staff/student computers across campus.  If you have questions or would like to see an application added to the suggested GIS software configuration, please send an e-mail to the Marx Library GIS team at gishelp@yale.edu.

Lab Managers: The software is already deployed to all public and library computers in the Software Center. This video (no audio) shows the steps. If you have any questions, please send your inquiry to gishelp@yale.edu.

• ArcGIS Pro: Keep in mind that ArcGIS Pro does not require a license server, Yale users authorize their access with their Yale ArcGIS Online login.
• ArcGIS Desktop: Lab machines with ArcGIS for Desktop (ArcMap) should connect to the Library license server. Please send your inquiry to gishelp@yale.edu in order to obtain the latest license server information.

Yale users with personal computers: 

June 01, 2020
The ITS Public Computing group has worked tirelessly, and now Yale students and faculty can access GIS software, via MyApps Yale GIS, including Esri ArcGIS for Desktop (ArcMap), ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, Google Earth Pro, and GeoDa.

• MyApps Yale GIS is a comprehensive desktop and app virtualization service that provides access to a Windows-based environment containing Yale licensed software from both personal and Yale-owned devices.
• Access to MyApps Yale GIS service will use multi-factor authentication (MFA) via DUO. 
• Starting June 01, 2020, the MyApps at Yale Citrix environment is no longer be available. This change does not apply to MyApps at YNHHS.
• It offers a full Windows 10 desktop. The desktop includes Yale licensed software that is currently available in the Public Clusters (for students) or software specific to departmental needs. 

ACCESS

• For eligibility, please visit the Virtual Services: Desktop & Application webpage.
• To access the new environment, please download the remote desktop software and follow the Getting Started Guide. 
• Access to the new MyApps Yale GIS environment is also available through the web.
• Eligible users will access MyApps Yale GIs with their Yale email address and NetID password.

FAQs:

Will I be able to save personal files on the virtual desktop?
The virtual desktop allows access to software available on the Public Clusters (students), or for specific use by teams or departments at Yale. Personal files should only be saved to a cloud drive, such as OneDrive, or to a network share.

Will I be able to add software to the virtual desktop?
You can customize your view of the virtual desktop, but software downloads/additions are not permitted. If you or your group have a specific need for software on the virtual desktop, please reach out to your professor, proctor, or manager.
