Registering Workstations

Overview

SuiteFactory uses a concept called a Virtual Workstation which is an object that can be configured to a particular Users needs including screen layout and preferences.

These Virtual Workstations are SuiteFactory Clients that become real when they are registered to a physical workstation inheriting the properties of the physical workstation plus the properties set for a particular User.

This allows a User to register their Client to any physical workstation and maintain a personal configuration no matter where they may be on the network.

By registering one's self to a Workstation a user can manage SuiteFactory from this or any Workstation on the network, given the "User" has the appropriate "Rights".
