Adding Additional Users

A user can "lend" a copy of a report to another user who otherwise cannot access the report. When a report is lent from one user to another, the report name appears in the Report list for both users, and both users may print or view the report.

You can lend a report by adding the names of additional users to the Additional Users field in the Active and Permanent Report lists. This field is displayed when selecting the A (Add Info) option in the OPTION field of a report.

Names of additional users can be added to, erased from, or changed, all in this Additional Users field.

Modification of Additional User data in the Active User Report list can only be performed on reports that have a Wait decollation status.

Wait decollation status does not apply to any of the reports in your Active User Report list. If, however, the Inventory report had a Wait decollation status, and you wanted to specify TESTMGT and TESTDEV as additional users for the report, you would proceed as follows:

If the Additional Information fields are not displayed, type A in the OPTION field to display them.

To update the Additional Users field, you would do the following (you can now perform the listed steps, but the screen will not be updated):

  1. Type U (Update) in the OPTION field of the report.
  2. Use the NEWLINE key to place the cursor at the Additional Users field.
  3. Type the names of the new users (TESTMGT and TESTDEV, as shown below). Press the TAB key between user names.

  4. Press Enter.

    Normally, the update is performed. In DEMO mode, however, Message CTDA8BE is displayed:

    OPERATION NOT AUTHORIZED WHEN IN DEMO MODE

  5. Remove the additional users from the Report list by typing U in the OPTION field, erasing the names of the additional users, and pressing Enter.

    All users specified in the Additional Users field have the report included in their Active User Report lists. The name of the original recipient appears in the Fromuser field.

    Using the above example, if you were to then display the reports for user TESTMGT, the IVENTORY report with Additional Information fields showing would appear as follows:

        Additional Users:

    Note that the USER is TESTMGT and that the name of the original recipient, DEMO, appears in the Fromuser field.

    As mentioned earlier, the A (Add Info) option alternately toggles between displaying and hiding the additional information about the report.

  6. Type A in the OPTION field for the Inventory report and press Enter to hide the Additional Information for the Inventory report.
