This help applies to both the Create User and Edit User notebooks. The pages and fields on the Create User and Edit User notebooks are the same. Some fields cannot be changed in the Edit User notebook.
Identification page
Name
Type a unique 1- to 18-character name for the user. This name serves as the user's user ID for accessing the Sync Server on the mid-tier system.
Description
Optional: Type descriptive text about the user. The description must be 128 characters or less.
Group
Use this field to specify the name of an existing group to which you want
the user to belong. You can type the group name or click the
push button to open the Select Group window so you can select a group from a
list. If no groups appear in the Select Group window, click
Create to open the Create Group notebook.
Authentication page
Password
Use this field to type a password of 18 characters or less. The password that you specify here overrides the group password.
Verify password
Use this field to verify the password to the system by typing it again exactly as you did in the Password field.
Data Filter page
Parameter name
This field specifies the names of the source columns that are being used to filter the data. For example, doctors, visiting nurses, and other hospital personnel might require access to the PATIENTS table on an enterprise server. To ensure that a group of visiting nurses sees only the data that pertains to their job code, the filter might specify the JOBTYPE column in the PATIENTS table as the parameter name and "VNURSE" as the filter value.
This value cannot be changed in the Create User notebook or the Edit User notebook because it reflects the data filter set for the group.
Default value
This field specifies the values of the source columns for the filter. For example, doctors, visiting nurses, and other hospital personnel might require access to the PATIENTS table on an enterprise server. To ensure that a group of visiting nurses sees only the data that pertains to their job code, the filter might specify the JOBTYPE column in the PATIENTS table as the parameter name and "VNURSE" as the filter value.
This value cannot be changed in the Create User notebook or the Edit User notebook because it reflects the data filter set for the group.
User override
This field reflects the parameter value that will be used to filter data during this specific user's synchronization calls. To set or change this value, select the parameter that you want to filter, then click Change. The Change Data Filter window opens.
