WHOS-IN Pro - Admin Help
Main Screen:
This section details the actions available from the Main Screen.
USAGE: Select the task to perform from the TreeView on the left of the Main Screen, or from the Tools Menu. As the various items are displayed on the right, select the appropriate button from the ToolBar, or right-click your mouse to display a pop-up menu.
Please note that in the screen shot above, one of the users has a warning Triangle next to the name (hey that's ME! - Ed.). This triangle indicates that the user is marked in the database as being Active. This assists the administrator prior to REPAIRING / COMPACTING the database. If someone has the database on the server 'locked open', then the repair / compact cannot take place... (however this should never happen)
Although a user may be marked as Active, this does not necessarily mean they are actually logged IN, (they may have crashed their PC, or shut down without exiting WHOS-IN) which would leave them with a 'floating' state of 'Active'. You should check your Network Server user connections to see who is using WHOS-IN if the repair/compact fails (but only if there are any users with a Yellow Triangle).
Active Flags for all users will be reset after a repair / compact.
NOTE: The Active flag is completely separate to a users 'Status'. A user can have ANY status set, and yet still be marked as an 'Active' user.
