This manual is in pilot operation.

[Excel-Link] connects to the fusion_place server as needed during processing. Specifically, the server is accessed when the user requests the following operations:

When connecting to the server for the first time, a dialog box prompting you to enter your username and password will appear. If a reconnection is made after a certain period since the last connection, the dialog box will also be displayed for reconfirmation. When the dialog box appears, enter your fusion_place "User Account Name" and "Password," then click the OK button.

When connecting to the server for the first time, a web browser will open, displaying the fusion_place login screen for user authentication.
