## Adding a Workstation

Once the IPI Client app is installed on a workstation and [IES server is specified in the corresponding field](/ipi-client-app/windows-deployment/set-up-ipi-client-app.md#interfeis-ustanovshika), this workstation appears in the list of workstations on IES.

## Approving a Workstation

For using the IPI key on the employee's workstation, it has to be approved by the administrator. Otherwise, the IPI key will not be able to connect to the IPI client.

#### Step 1

You need to click on the line with the desired workstation and click the **Approve** button.
