GenStaff Pool

The GenStaff pool is different from our other pools, it utilizes an application portal rather than a full desktop experience. Upon log-in you are presented with a variety of applications that you can launch individually.

Once an application is launched, the menu bar at the top of your eLumin desktop instance, like in the GenLab/Modeling/Adobe pools, is exactly the same. Take Microsoft Word, for example.
