Correctly setting up Xrev Transmit in a multi-user environment
Setting up Xrev Transmit so that multiple users share the same settings and Transmittal history is very simple. Below outlines the recommended steps, read on to see the different ways to achieve this:
- Manually install Xrev Transmit on one machine first (if you haven't already)
- Setup your Settings for Xrev Transmit (you can do this after you've shared your settings as well) - EG: All your Format Types, Naming Rules, General Settings, Transmittal Template etc.
- Copy the XrevTransmit.sdf (database) from your local machine to a network share where all users in the company have full Read/Write permissions to. NOTE: The software cannot function correctly if a user doesn't have full access to the database. Permissions on editing settings can be controlled in other ways.
- Install the software on all the other machines and update their config file to point to the XrevTransmit.sdf file you just placed on your Network share. You can choose to do this manually or as part of the installation process as outlined below.
Automating Installation
Xrev Transmit may be downloaded as a Windows Installer package (.msi), or as a Full Installer (.exe) setup application which includes additional components. See the Getting started section for more information.
