You have opened a project. The prerequisites for multi-user operation have been met. EPLAN is connected to the monitor server. Project > Multi-user monitor.
This dialog has two tables listing the projects that are relevant for multi-user operation.
The following dialog elements are available:
Own opened projects in multi-user operation:
The table on the left provides detailed information about the multi-user operation. It shows the projects that you and other users have open at the same time. The following data is listed for these projects:
- Project
- Users
- Area
- Product version
- Project action
- Progress.
If a user has started an action with a corresponding run-time for a project that you also have open (checks, reports, etc), this will be indicated by a progress bar in the Progress column.
If, in the User column, you click the User code set up as a hyperlink, the email application on your computer opens and you can email this user.
If you click the icon to the left of a project name, other information about a user appears in both tables (name, phone, computer). For this to happen, the users working in multi-user operation must have their user information stored in the settings (Options > Settings > User > Display > User code / address).
Notes:
- Projects that only you have open do not appear in the multi-user monitor.
- To exchange e-mails, an e-mail editor must be installed and correctly set up on your computer.
The table on the right of the dialog lists all the projects that have only been opened by other users. The following data is listed for these projects:
- Project
- User.
If more than one other user has a project open, the Users column displays more than one User code for the relevant project.
If you wish to email a user in this table, you first need to drop down the row of information below. Here, click the user name that has been set up as a hyperlink.
