Could we install the application on a shared drive, and would it impact the user experience?

It is not recommended to install Alamut^TM Visual Plus on a shared drive because of performance issues and potential application instability. The best way to install Alamut^TM Visual Plus is:

• Run Alamut^TM Visual Plus executable (.exe) locally and do not store it on a shared drive.
• When installing the application, select a local settings folder.
• To share variant databases, one of your users can create a new Local Variant Database from the menu and choose to store it on a shared drive. This database can later be imported by any user that has access to this location.
  • If a database is stored on a shared drive or disk, it should be flagged as “Shared Database”.
