The following example can be used to set up and configuring Interact at one site on two computers sharing the database in a local networked environment.
Settings
Maintain | Locations - Location Name- Only one Location needs to be added.
Why add more?
Additional locations may be added to accommodate the entry of handwritten tickets from another pit/quarry that is not using Interact. The location would be available in the Location drop-down list on the second weigh form while processing a transaction. Adding a Location for handwritten tickets will allow the user to group these tickets together for reporting purposes.
Maintain | Locations - Sites (Databases)- Only one database will appear in the Sites (Databases) list.
Setup | Ticket Numbers - Options
Two Ticket Number Groups; one ticket number group for each machine (aka computer).
One ticket number group to be shared between the two machines. This will allow for sequential ticket numbering between the two machines.
Setup | Invoice Numbers – Options
When only one machine is registered to use Interact Invoice or Pro only one Invoice Number is needed.
When both machines are registered to use Interact Invoice or Pro one or two invoice number groups could be added. They would share a single invoice number group or each have their own. If they share an invoice number group the users need to make sure they do not post transactions at the same time.
Setup | Accounting Permissions - Accounting database permissions will be set to
Invoicing | "Allow one database to invoice all transactions"
