User/Location Settings - Variables

Note: if you see any setting in the User/Location Settings dialog that has this toggle visible to the right:



Then this setting is set up as a global preference, and CANNOT be modified by individual users in the User/Location Settings. Please have your Administrator edit this setting in Setup Global Preferences within Profile Manager as needed.These variables are an open-ended location where custom/advanced functionality can be set up in IndySoft. Typically these settings are only modified when instructed through IndySoft Support. You might note some items in the grid even if you have not interacted with support - these are occasionally populated automatically to note certain software conditions. When variables are added/edited, they have a common interface. Note that this interface is identical to Company Variables and System-Wide Variables:

Add/Edit User Variable

Variable Name - This field is required; all variables must be unique per user.

Text / Date / Integer / Numeric / Memo Values - these five values are optional - commonly, each variable might only need to store one of these variables, depending upon the variable type. Still, all five fields can be assigned together if required.

(Re) Load File From - it is also possible to associate a file saved to the database with this variable. Press the 'Choose File Name' to the right of the edit box and locate the file on your hard drive/network. If needed, this file will be saved to the database for recall with this variable. To recall a file attachment from this dialog, press the 'View File Attachment' button to the right of 'File Attachment.' |
