Setup Users

Use the Setup Users command (from the Multiusers menu) to put the schedules of multiple users on a network server.

Tip: There are several ways to setup TimeTo™ for multiple users. To consider all your options before proceeding with this approach, read How To Use TimeTo™ with more than one user.

Enter the names of each user. Indicate the Server Drive upon which all TimeTo™ files to be stored.

Technical notes: TimeTo™ will create folders within a folder called TimeTos at the root level of the server drive: one folder for each user. The TimeTos folder will also include a file called user.lst which is a text file containing a list of all known TimeTo™ users.

If you are moving an existing user from a local drive to the network server, then to move that user's schedule data from your local drive to the server click the Relocate Current User's Schedule Files To Server Drive button. (If the current schedule is already stored in the c:\TimeTos folder, then the Relocate is dimmed.)

On each workstation, install TimeTo™ using the normal installation procedure for TimeTo™. (Alternatively, if you'd prefer to start users off with a copy of an existing schedule instead, you can use the Backup command from TimeTo's File menu to copy the files for any existing user to the location of your choice.) Then launch TimeTo™ on the workstation and Open this user’s schedule by selecting the Choose Schedule From User List command (from the Multiusers menu), and then choosing their name from the list . If their name is not yet on the list, choose Setup Users from the Multiuser menu and add their name... if this still does not work, confirm that the workstation can connect to the server drive letter indicated as the Server Drive in the Setup Users command.

Once you have chosen the user, TimeTo™ will remember the last user selected on that workstation, and open that schedule automatically when launched in the future.

Tip: The Suppress All Alarms feature is especially helpful when viewing someone else's schedule on a network installation of TimeTo™, to make sure that alarms don't sound on your computer when checking someone else's schedule that includes alarms.
