Title:
Proper way to do workstation settings
I have a table in my app named Syssetup which contains application level settings that allow each installation to operate the app differently.
I have a table in my app named ws_settings which contains workstation level settings, some of which, if present, override application level settings (syssetup), for a particular workstation. This table also contains printer names, etc for printing documents where the user wants those documents to go to a particular printer (without being asked), etc.
My workstation settings table is keyed on workstation name. When the user logs in, the app looks to see if a workstation level record exists for the workstation name logging in and if so, the workstation level settings are used.
My question: Network administrators are constantly changing workstation's names. Does someone have a better idea on what to key my workstation level settings on rather than workstation name?
Thanks,
John
