DriveWorks Pro Admin Stages Explained – Group Setup

In this first part of our series on the stages of the DriveWorks Professional Administrator interface, we will be going through the three areas, Security Settings, Group Tables, and Autopilot Settings.

Security Settings:

This task provides the ability to create Users and Teams of Users to control access to editing and specifying projects and also handle captured information.

Within this section, you can create, edit, rename, and delete Users and Teams. The reset and clear password commands are only used on Users.

Selecting a Team and clicking on the Edit command will produce a new dialog (see Figure 3).

On the General Tab, you can change the display name, and determine permission options for the members.

The Group Table Permissions tab allows control of viewing, editing, or explicit denial of access to all tables under the Group Table task (see Figure 6).

Selecting a User from the list and clicking on the Edit command produces a different dialog with only two tabs (see Figure 7). The General tab allows editing the displayed name, email if the user is a Team Leader, and if the user is Enabled or not.

Group Tables:

Group Tables give access to tabbed data stored here to all projects within a group.
The data held in a Group Table can be accessed through all the certain table functions in a rule like (DWVLookup, HLookup, ListAll, etc.) (see Figure 9).

Figure #9 – Stage 1: Group Setup – Group Tables

The Group Tables task allows you to Add, Rename, Delete, and View/Edit tables. While adding or editing a table you can either manually enter data or copy/paste data from another program like Excel.

Autopilot Settings:

This task allows you access to any and all Autopilot machines connected to the Shared Group (Individual Groups not supported). From this task, you can determine what roles each carries out and start and stop the service on each (see Figure 10).
