Workstation/User
Override Maintenance Workstation/User
Override MaintenanceUse this program to set up the printer information for all the workstations/computers and all sessions for those computers for a specified company and location.
If
you are using network workstations or TCPIP connections and the device
descriptions are dynamically allocated, it is necessary to set up printer
information by the user. To do this, enter the user's ID in the
Workstation field instead of the
workstation ID, and enter the printer information based on where that
user's transactions should print.
To have the system set up the print information by user, the Device ID in the system MUST start with QPADEV (the default of dynamically assigned devices), and control record VRTDEV needs to be set to Y.
When the system is set this way and a user with an override profile that was set up in this program signs onto a workstation with a Device ID that starts with QPADEV, the program updates the workstation's description (if one exists) or creates a new workstation record with the printer information from the user's profile. This happens each time a different user (with an override profile) signs onto that workstation.
The user's profile also overrides the Corporate Access and InitialMenu settings for the workstation when they sign on.
The
following default workstations must be created for each location:
*BARCODE - Used as the default when printing bar code labels from either the inventory system or the purchasing system.
*CRTINV - Used from the Create Invoice option.
*CYCLEBILL - Used as the default for all cycle bill invoices.
*DFT - Used if no other record is found for the print option being run.
*FAX - Used to determine the output queue and forms ID name for fax jobs using Fastfax®.
*FAXICS - Used by companies that fax via ICS software.
*PICKUPTKT - Used when issuing or reprinting a pickup ticket.
*PO - Used when creating a purchase order.
*RESERV - Used when creating or reprinting a reservation.
*STATEMENT - Used when creating or reprinting statements.
*TRANSFER - Used when creating, reprinting, or receiving a transfer.

Access this screen by entering a workstation ID or a user ID and company and location on the Workstation/User Override Maintenance - Launch screen. Enter printer information for the workstation or for the user, and press Enter twice to save the profile.
In each field
that prompts for a printer name, an output queue name can be substituted.

Workstation/User Override Maintenance
Displays the ID of the workstation/computer for which you are setting up printer information.
If you
are using network workstations or TCPIP connections and the device descriptions
are dynamically allocated, this field holds a user ID and the printer
information is set up for that user.
Displays the company in which you are setting up the workstation/user printer profile. If a workstation works in multiple companies, a profile must be set up for that workstation in all companies where it works.
Displays the location in which you are setting up the workstation/user printer profile.
Enter the Device ID for the printer to be used for contracts generated from the workstation or by the user signed onto the workstation.
The printer
ID in this field is the only one used in the required default workstations
listed above.
Enter the Device ID for the printer to be used to print work orders and scheduled maintenance forms (SMFs). Work order print can be overridden in control records WOPRT1 and WOPRT4.
Enter the Device ID for the printer to be used to print purchase orders. If this field is blank or contains an invalid printer ID, the program uses the information in the default workstation record *PO.
Enter the Device ID for the printer to be used for printing reports.
Enter the Device ID for the printer to be used for printing small receipts for cash transactions. This value is only used if control record QUICKS is set up.
If applicable, enter the Device ID for the printer to be used for transactions where customers are picking up equipment or merchandise rather than having it delivered.

Indicate whether users signed onto the workstation should have access to change his/her company and location in the fields in the upper right corner of the screen. If you are setting up a profile for a user rather than a workstation, this setting overrides the workstation setting.
Enter the ID of the menu that is the first menu presented to users who sign onto this workstation. If you are setting up a profile for a user rather than a workstation, this setting overrides the workstation setting.
If you are not using ICS or Formtastic for printing, indicate whether the workstation CRT displays in color.
If you are not using ICS or Formtastic for printing, indicate whether the workstation CRT display is 132 columns wide.
This field is not used.
Enter the forms ID (for the printer file) that corresponds with contracts created at the workstation or by the user.
