Workstations

From the menu bar, click Maintenance > General Maintenance > Work Stations or press Alt N G W on the keyboard.

There are specific defaults that must be established for each workstation accessing AIMsi. The "Workstation" menu option is used for this purpose. If you are running the software on a stand alone computer, you will just have one workstation record. If you have eight computers on the network, you will have eight workstation records. If you have multiple store locations that are on line, those remote computers are workstations and each one will need to have a workstation record.

All of the workstation records may be established from just one computer. It is not necessary to physically go to each individual computer to set up the workstation record in AIMsi as it was when setting up the user number variable in the autoexec.bat file. It is important, however, that the workstation number match the user number variable for each computer.  If you are uncertain as to the user number established for a workstation, on that computer, click Help and About AIMsi.  The user number variable will appear in the 'WrkStn' box.

Example: The computer that has 2 as the user number variable in the autoexec.bat file should have a workstation record 2 and the information entered should pertain to that computer.
