You will need a
shared folder on your network that other users can access from their various computers. If you are not sure if you have a network or how to setup a shared folder, you will need to got in touch with your IT support.
This diagram shows the main computer where the Full Edition is installed. The data file is copied to a shared folder on a computer / server which the users access - each having the User Edition installed on their computers.
Data File
The
data file of the product you are using will need to be
copied to the shared folder on your network. We will use the HumanitiesCMD as an example here:
copy the cmdh_d.mdb file from the c:\DataFlow folder on your computer to the shared folder.
Install User Editions
Next step is to install the User Edition on each computer that will have access to the centralised data. Logos Flow will supply you details about receiving the User edition of the product you are using. See the
Installing link below.
Connecting to the data
On each computer, open the User Edition and at the
Switchboard select the
Update Data Source option. This enables you to browse to the shared folder on your network. See
Update Data Source below for full details.
Note: the User Edition forces the data file to be read only which is why the users connect to a duplicate data file.
