- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13. Using Ami Pro on a network ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Once you install Ami Pro on the server and set up each user node, multiple
- users can run Ami Pro from their workstations.
-
- All users must have Read-Write-Create-Delete-Attribute permissions to
- directories that contain documents they need to edit.
-
- If the users on a network are sharing documents, Ami Pro provides file locking
- to protect against the possibility of simultaneous data update attempts. When a
- user opens a document, the original file changes to read only and can be
- modified only by that user. When the original user closes the document, Ami Pro
- changes the rights to read write, so another user may edit it.
-
- Another user can open a read only file and save changes to it only if the
- changes are saved to a different file name.
-
- If Ami Pro is terminated abnormally, as in the case of a power failure, some
- documents may be left in read only mode. You can change the files back to
- read-write using the Ami Pro File Manager.
