WorkflowStartup Options
The client layout configuration allows you to customize the way Workflow opens and appears on a specific computer, on all computers in your system, or on a subset of those computers.
Client layouts, lockout mode, and equipment associations are configured for all users that log on to individual workstations. Layouts, startup objects, and startup displays and solutions are configured for all users that log on to any computer that is included in a global default configuration.
Lockdown Mode
When lockdown is enabled, you cannot access anything outside of the Workflow client, but may log in or log out. When lockdown is disabled, you can access other programs, minimize the client, and so on.
Lockdown mode is not available when you use global default configurations.
- If any workstation keyboards in your facility have multimedia keys—for example, Internet or e-mail launch—these keyboard buttons may disable certain key macros or allow users to circumvent Workflow security measures. It is recommended that you reprogram or disable the software that operates those buttons. Refer to your computer's documentation for instructions on disabling these buttons.
- If any computers in your facility have lockdown mode enabled, you must ensure that web displays that are available to your users do not contain any links. This will help to prevent circumvention of your Workflow security measures.
- Because the online help contains external links, you cannot open it when the computer is in lockdown mode.
Equipment Link
If there is a piece of equipment associated with the selected computer workstation, you can create a link to that equipment resource.
Equipment linking is not available when you use global default configurations.
Default Startup Options
The default setup options allow you to specify the startup object and display that will be shown when Workflow is started on a specific workstation, or on all workstations included in a default configuration. These settings apply to all users except those who have the user overrides settings configured.
- You can select the navigator and/or object views for the user, as well as having specific navigation, startup object, and startup displays/solutions specified.
- If the navigator is not selected, you must specify a startup object, and if the solution panel is not selected, you must specify startup solution and display objects; otherwise, the configuration is considered invalid and an error is reported.
- If you specify a startup solution, you must also specify a startup display.
If you do not want a specific computer to use the default configuration, you can either exclude it during the initial default set up or you can override the default configuration.
