Retaining User Settings In Macola 1

[aziz24]

We just stared using Macola ES/e-Synergy and would like to be able to create a canned setup for new install and re-builds that will automatically place the correct columns in the maintain fields and search fields of the various modules
Any help would be great

Could you provide a little more detail of exactly what you are trying to do?

Agreed. With more specifics there are probably multiple ways to achieve this.

Some tables are reasonable to update using SQL statements, but many are not and should be populated via xml in a very specific order.

 

[aziz24]

Sure
We use some of the pre packaged column fields and some of the user definend ones in the various modules in Macola ES.
When we do a new install of ES or a rebuild myself or my Boss need to go to that person's PC and set up each column field for what they need to see.
Example: Item Maintenance
User Defined Field |Item No. |User Defined Field |etc....

Is there anyway to do this automaticly so our IT dept just runs a script or a reg entry for each user or group depending on what we dictate.

I hope this is more info. the best I can liken it is to some of the features in MS Active directory

It looks like you have modified screens. Those are linked to the user within the database. Reinstalling ES on a workstation for the same user shouldn't have any effect on that. If you have a new user, in ES, you would go to System / Utilities / General / Link Resources to modified screens to "copy" a screen from one user to another.

The folder that the Macola ES programs are installed in don't contain any data, just program files (if you have custom ES Crystal reports, they would have to be copied to c:\program files\Exact Software\rpt folder)

For new users, there are things within each company that you have to do. Create the resource, link the resource to custom sceens, link the resource to the security roles that you want them to have.
