To share the library:
The library folder contains all library resources. Where more than one user of OyezForms exists, it can be desirable to centralise the form library. This allows a single user to update the library for all via Active Library. You can set the library path within OyezForms at any time via the OPTIONS > DATABASES tab.
Please ensure end users have sufficient access rights (Full Control) to the shared folder.
To share user files or completed forms:
You can also centralise user files (Clause library, shortlist, spellchecker files, and personal library) and stored completed forms. You can set these paths within Oyez at any time via the OPTIONS > GENERAL tab.
Please ensure end users have sufficient access rights (Full Control) to the shared folder.
Default path to user files: C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Oyez Documents\ Default path to stored completed forms C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Oyez Documents\
You should also amend the Library and Master locations. These can be found at Admin > Options > Databases. You should amend these to reflect where your network share resides.
