NETWORK SETUP |
Key functions like online requisitioning require
a multi-PC installation. 999 user ids are available to support a large
network of users. There is no “per seat” charge per user. The basic processs for running multiple ULTRA
users from a SERVER consists
of: · setting up a SERVER PATH folder where the invULTRA2013.exe
app and invplus.mdb database will reside. ·
mapping the ULTRA desktop icon to the SERVER PATH |
|||
u INSTALL
ULTRA ON PCs |
For each PC running ULTRA: ·
Perform a full ULTRA Install (setup2013.exe) just like in the single-user installation. ·
For online-requisitioning-only PCs: assign user IDs with “Q”
access rights. See System Administrator functions
for more on user access
rights. |

you must set up a NETWORK SERVER
FOLDER. Here,

wish. Create
this path on the server. Be sure to allow: ·
Full Read/Write access to R:\APPS ·
