Connectix Agent
The Connectix Agent monitors integration with your other software. It includes a menu that allows you to manage some aspects of integration, such as the contents of the context menu and the toolbar containing Antidote’s buttons. It also manages Anti-Oops! and provides quick and direct access to Antidote’s resources.
The Connectix Agent can be accessed easily at any time through the flask icon in the operating system display.
Choose the tab that corresponds to your operating system: Windows, Mac or Linux.
Accessing the Connectix Agent
The Connectix Agent is located in the notification area of the taskbar, in the right-hand corner near the clock. Right-click the flask icon to open the menu.
Tip — The flask icon may be hidden, but it can be revealed by clicking the chevron. You can then drag the flask icon into the main notification area so it is always just a click away.
What if the Connectix Agent icon is no longer visible?
Open the Connectix utility using the following menu options: Start (1) > Antidote (2) > Connectix 11 (3). Select the Options tab (4), then disable the Hide the Connectix Agent icon options (5), then click Save (6).
