Shared User INI File
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

In the [LastUsed] section of the DMSUser.INI file, the following parameters can be used to make the user INI file sharable and locked from selected changes.  These changes need to be entered manually.  The information below also explains the parameters when each user has their own unique DMSUser.INI file.



UserName=parameter


The UserName setting optionally records the last username who logged into DMS.  Parameter can be one of the following:


  1. !EnterName!
    The !EnterName! parameter informs DMS that the username needs to be entered each time a user logs into DMS. The username and last database name used will not be saved in the DMSUser.INI file on exit.
  2. !WindowsName!
    The !WindowsName! parameter informs DMS that the username is to be populated with the Windows username on the log in screen as a default. The username and last database name used will not be saved in the DMSUser.INI file on exit.
  3. Blank or username
    If the parameter is blank or a username, DMS will populate the username with the entry on the login screen.  Both the username and last database name used will be saved in the INI file on exit.  This parameter is the default after a DMS install and is used when each DMS user will have their own DMSUser.INI file.



ViewCompanyName=parameter


The ViewCompanyName setting is used to either display or not display the dataset name in the status bar of all DMS screens.  Parameter can be one of the following:


  1. !Always!
    The !Always! parameter means that DMS will always display the dataset (database name) that the user logged into.  The View | Database parameter cannot be changed by the user.
  2. !Never!
    The !Never! parameter means that DMS will never display the dataset (database name) that the user logged into.  The View | Database parameter cannot be changed by the user.
  3. 1 or True
    A parameter of 1 or True means that DMS will display the dataset (database name) that the user logged into.  The View | Database parameter can be changed by the user.
  4. 0 or False
    A parameter of 0 or False means that DMS will not display the dataset (database name) that the user logged into.  The View | Database parameter can be changed by the user.



ConfirmExit=parameter


The ConfirmExit setting is used to either have the user confirm exiting from DMS with a message box, or to not confirm exiting from DMS.  Parameter can be one of the following:


  1. !Always!
    The !Always! parameter means that DMS will always confirm exiting DMS with the user by displaying a message box.  The View | Confirm Exit parameter cannot be changed by the user.
  2. !Never!
    The !Never! parameter means that DMS will never confirm exiting with the user.  The View | Confirm Exit parameter cannot be changed by the user.
  3. 1 or True
    A 1 or True parameter means that DMS will confirm exiting DMS with the user by displaying a message box.  The View | Confirm Exit parameter can be changed by the user.
  4. 2 or False
    A 2 or False parameter means that DMS will not confirm exiting with the user.  The View | Confirm Exit parameter can be changed by the user.
