The PATGuard Viewer feature is available in PATGuard Plus v4.7 onwards and PATGuard Elite only.
PATGuard Viewer is a ‘view’ only version of the program that can be freely issued to Clients and others so that they can view the database in real-time and print their own Reports.
This feature enables a customised Viewer CD to be created very easily. A Viewer CD can be created at the database level in which case the entire database will be available to the PATGuard Viewer user or for an individual Client within a database in which case only the data for that Client will be available to the PATGuard Viewer user.
To launch the Create Viewer CD Image dialog box, select the root of the database tree at the upper left side of the Main Window or select an individual Client, then right mouse click to display the context menu. Select Create Viewer CD Image.
The Viewer CD image consists of a number of files created and stored in the CD image directory. The PATGuard Viewer CD will be created when these files are ‘burned’ into a new CD.
To create the Viewer CD image fill out all the fields in the Create Viewer CD Image dialog box (or accept defaults).
This is your company name. This name will appear during the PATGuard Viewer CD installation and will precede the program name for all short cut icons.
This is your web site address and will appear during installation.
This is a slogan which is displayed during installation.
This field is a path to a bitmap file which appears when the PATGuard Viewer is started and replaces the Login screen.
This field is a path to a jpeg file which is your company logo and will appear on all PATGuard Viewer Reports.
This field is the path and directory name where the CD image files will be stored.
Once all the fields are set appropriately, select Create CD Image to generate the CD image files. Then copy all the files generated to a new CD.
NoteDo not copy the directory but copy all the files in the directory to ensure that all the files are directly on the CD and not within a directory. It is a good idea to check the CD is correct by installing on your own PC. Installation of the PATGuard Viewer will not affect PATGuard Elite.
