Pulse Dashboard Client¶
The Pulse Dashboard Client is a launcher application that keeps a local copy of Pulse Dashboard synchronized with a master copy on a network share, then runs the local copy.
It exists because running an application directly off a network share locks the files in place — no one can deploy an update while users are working. The launcher solves this by syncing files locally first, leaving the server copy free to be replaced at any time.
