BookTrakker
Network Setup
BookTrakker
supports Networking under Windows. Setup for new users is
generally automatic, however, there is a manual means by which to
set up the Network.

App Manager Computers/Network Tab On
the Server
The process normally begins by
Sharing the BookTrakker Data Folder on the Computer that has been
designated as the 'Server'. This is the Computer that will
store the Database Folder for access by the other computers.
In cases where the Data Folder has not been automatically shared
there will be a button, as shown above, with the caption
Share BT Data Folder. Clicking this button will
invoke the process to share the BookTrakker Data Folder for access
from Client Computers.
Once the Data Folder on the Server
Computer has been shared we can proceed to the Clients to Map the
Network Drive to the Shared Folder.
Note: App Manager will
create a new Account on the Server Computer with the name
"BTUser". This is required to eliminate the need for users
to remember Account Names and Passwords which are required on the
Client Computer to establish the authorization to Map a Network
Drive to the Shared Data Folder. This user may appear on the
Login screen and can be ignored.

App Manager Computers/Network Tab On
the Client
The Computers/Network Tab on the
Client will display the Connect to BT Server
button in place of the Share BT Data Folder
button that appears on the Server. Once the Server Share has
been configured clicking the Connect to BT Server
button will find and connect to the Server. This will also
update the Data Path to reflect the Mapped Drive Path.
