Work Station window - Files tab data fields
When in certain programs or reports in AIMsi a Browse or Find button may be clicked in order for a file to be selected (i.e. Inventory Export/Import). On the Files tab in Workstations, you may set a specific folder to open when the Browse or Find button is clicked from certain workstations. If a path is entered, the employee who has AIMsi open on this workstation can only select a file in that particular folder. If the path is left blank, the common Windows 'Select File' dialog box will open. For some stores, this poses a security concern because employees may be able to edit, delete or rename files or navigate to other areas on your network.
The Program column contains the names of the menu options or reports that have a Browse or Find button. If you want only a specific folder to open when the button is clicked on a particular workstation, click the Program to highlight it and then click the button. Browse to to the folder and select it. Finally, click the button. You will then notice that the path will appear in the Folder column for that program.
