iLegislate for Windows and Mac, like the iOS and Android versions of this application, enables elected officials and government staff to review meeting agendas, supporting documents, citizen feedback, and archived video, and to bookmark items for easy retrieval. Notes and bookmarks are automatically backed up to the Granicus cloud when an internet connection is established.

Prerequisites

iLegislate runs on your PC or Mac. It can be downloaded and installed via http://granicus.com/ilegislate-download/.

Usage of the application requires Granicus clients to be on the Open Platform Suite as well as either the Government Transparency or Legislative Management Suite. Use of the Voting System requires the Meeting Efficiency suite. Legistar-only clients must add the Open Platform Suite at no charge. A MediaManager site and user accounts are required for each user of the application.

Network Requirements

The iLegislate application requires an internet connection for agenda download, notes synchronization, and playback of archive videos. Wi-Fi, 3G, and 4G connections will work but download performance will be much better over Wi-Fi. Very large agendas and attachments can take a substantial amount of time over 3G. 
Agenda download and sync requires internet access over port 80 and port 443. Video playback requires internet access over TCP port 1935. 

VoteCast Integration 

iLegislate can be integrated with the Granicus VoteCast System, allowing council members to use their own devices when requesting to speak, making or seconding motions, and voting on agenda items during meetings. Voting and requesting to speak require access over port 2012 to the Granicus Encoding Appliance.

iLegislate traffic is entirely: Outbound TCP Port 80, 443, 1935, and 2012 (only if the Voting System is enabled).
