|
| This section details the actions taken when pressing the various ToolBar Buttons on the Main Screen. |
 |
| Import Button - Displays the Import Users Screen, which allows you to import User ID's, User Names and Phone Numbers into the WHOS-IN database. |
 |
|
Add Button - Allows you to add extra Columns, DueBack Messages, Groups, Servers, Status Types and Users. Choose the Item from the Selector TreeView prior to selecting the Add button. |
 |
|
Modify Button - Allows you to modify existing Custom Columns, DueBack Messages, Groups, Servers, Status Types and Users. Choose the Item from the Selector TreeView prior to selecting the Modify button. |
 |
|
Delete Button - Allows you to delete Custom Columns, DueBack Messages, Groups, Servers, Status Types and Users. Choose the Item from the Selector TreeView prior to selecting the Delete button. NOTE: Not all items can be deleted. For example the 'Everyone' Group, and the In Out & Busy Status types are all protected. |

Repair Button - Displays the Repair / Compact Database Screen, which allows you to repair damaged databases, remove deleted entries from the database, and free some disk space. Compacting is probably only required once a month, or perhaps even less often. NOTE: Exclusive access is NOT required for this process. ( Existing users may remain logged in to WHOS-IN during the repair/compact, however it may require multiple attempts on your part to repair successfully - if a user happens to be updating their status at the exact same moment you attempt the repair. ) The repair / compact operation consists of the following steps: Renaming WHOSIN.MDB to WHOSIN.000 Shuffling WHOSIN.001 to 002, 002 to 003 etc. (up to 9 backup copies are kept) Repair the WHOSIN.000 file (which recreates the MDB file.) The procedure is very similar to manually repairing a database using MS Access, however if you prefer to use Access for this function, please ensure you have version 2000 (or higher) of Microsoft Access. |
 |
| Refresh Button - Refreshes the Main Screen with the most current up-to-date data from the database (just in case a logged-on user has changed something). |
 |
| About Button - Displays the About Screen with WHOS-IN copyright Info, Serial Number, Build Date etc. |
 |
| Help Button - Displays Help for the Main Screen only. |
 |
| Exit Button - Shuts down WHOS-IN Administrator. |
