When several users work on the same server it is interesting to move the database on the network. The advantage of sharing a database is that it is not updated by each user and therefore the updates will be executed only once and only by one computer of the company.

To define the workstation that updates the database, simply specify a network folder for the database location and then check one of the options:

Two cases are possible:

  • You are in charge of updating the server folders. This means that when you click on the all folders are modified (yours locally and also those of the server).
  • If you do not support updating server folders, you can still add network folders, but when you click the update button If you have not yet done so, or if you schedule the update, only your local folders will be updated. The name of the PC that has the rights is indicated in the interface (here AXRD-W10).


On other client computers you just need to point to the same network folder for the database location.

If a database already exists at this location, a message tells you that it will be retrieved. You will then be able to declare your local folders in this database and update them, but the update of the network folders will be reserved to the person declared as the owner of the database (by default it is the creator of the database).


 


You can, at any time, decide to take charge of updating this shared database. This can be useful if the person in charge of the database is absent for a long period or if he/she leaves the service.
