1212 - Summary/Objective
1213 -
121301 - Completed the 2nd lift of testing and refining.
121302 -
121303 - Seem to have a single User version capability, simply by switching
121304 - counter 73 = 2 in 04702.  If it is 0, we have corporate version with
121305 - Group Interface, and if it is 1 or more than 2, we get the SDS Set Up
121306 - for individuals.  This provides a variety of levels of access.
121307 -
121308 - Added ability to load without archiving.
121309 -
121310 - Was able to eliminate and consolidate quite a bit of code, so a lot
121311 - of functionality was added, yet the overall code was reduced.
121312 -
121313 -
121314 - Pending
121315 -
121316 -   1.  Executive services needs to be coded to apply ideas earlier
121317 -       today. ref SDS 13 0001
121318 -
121319 -   2.  Develop configuration scheme that does not require the User to
121320 -       open 04702.
121321 -
121322 -   3.  Modify 0815 to create Single User flag, see line 051482.

1216 - 1116 : Analysis
1217 -
121701 - Code will check the Group Manager when a new User is assigned to avoid
121702 - conflicts in User ID and/or password.
121703 -
121704 - Will also consider giving a new SDS program launch notice.
121705 -
121706 -    There is a distinction between the params not being in the Group
121707 -    Manager, and there not being a Schedule for this person on the
121708 -    system.  A data base could well exist, yet the access to it is not
121709 -    properly specified in the Group Manager.
121710 -
121711 -
121712 -
121713 - No Archive
121714 -
121715 - Added this option in Set Up screen.
121716 -
121717 - No archive should always occur under executive services, so we do not
121718 - launch another User's stuff.
121719 -
121720 -     Also added it to the SDS New User Identification, so if someone
121721 -     needs to examine another User's records, they can do so.
121722 -
121723 -
121724 -
121725 - Single User Only
121726 -
121727 - Developed code so a manager can configure a computer to immediately
121728 - launch a specified user's SDS environment, and bypass altogether the
121729 - User Interface screens.  This will occur, if 04702 has:
121730 -
121731 -                       setcnt 73 2
121732 -
121733 -    Only one User can be supported in this manner for each computer,
121734 -    such that when a particular computer has 04702 configured with
121735 -    setcnt 73 2, SDS will only open the User originally defined in
121736 -    setup.  Since this is the way most computers are used, this is not
121737 -    a serious limitation.
121738 -
121739 -    Single User = F2 & #
121740 -
121741 -    F2 in the User ID portion of Setup, is designated on the screen as
121742 -    a function to start SDS and configure it for Single User status.
121743 -    This means:
121744 -
121745 -         1.  04702 is changed to setcnt 73 2  (see explanation below).
121746 -         2.  The # char is entered in Group Manager in the center
121747 -             margin of the screen.
121748 -
121749 -       When SDS is started because 73 = 2, the 04702 code immediately
121750 -       looks for an entry in Group Manager with the # sybmol, and if it
121751 -       is there, the SDS Schedule for that User is opened, immediately.
121752 -
121753 -    The Status can be changed only through Executive Services, because
121754 -    there is no other avenue into Group Manager and/or Setup, after
121755 -    Single User status is configured.
121756 -
121757 -    Sophisticated Users could open 04702 and change counter 73 0 or 1,
121758 -    if they know how, using the Editor.
121759 -
121760 -
121761 - Executive & Corporate
121762 -
121763 - Both of these access levels use setcnt 73 0, which provides access to
121764 - the Group Manager.  An intermediate access level is setcnt 73 1,
121765 - which opens the Setup screen, instead of Group Manager.
121766 -
121767 -    Will create a function F4 to set this status in the the Group
121768 -    Manager, and Ctrl F4 in Setup to set back to setcnt 73 0.
121769 -
121770 -
121771 -    Group Manager and Setup Screen - F4 & Ctrl F4
121772 -
121773 -    Corporate SDS will be sold in setcnt 73 0 mode, which means the
121774 -    Group Manager is initially presented.  A responsible manager can
121775 -    then designate by using the F4 option in Group Manager who among
121776 -    their staff will be configured to have Group Manager priveleges,
121777 -    those who will be given access to other people's Schedules only
121778 -    through the Setup screen, and others who will be limited to Single
121779 -    User status with the F2 option in Setup.

121796 -
121797 -
121798 - Direct Access via Mouse from Group Manager
121799 -
121800 - This feature will be for Executive services, that will enable a
121801 - manager to launch a group member's schedule from the GI screen.
121802 -
121803 - It can use the code developed to launch the Single User.

1221 - 0959 : 0470211
1222 -
122201 - Line 180, added a second debug 100, at each message, so they will be
122202 - a little longer.
122203 -
122204 - Line 220 - organized the second message to explain the password, a
122205 - little better.
122206 -
122207 - Line 280 - tried adding space bar for password, so they can delete
122208 - something.  This is not a problem in User ID field, because it has to
122209 - be completely filled out and there can be no spaces.  Trying to just
122210 - take the cursor position, and change the position value to 0.
122211 -
122212 -
122213 - Line 695 - added error message if User does not fill out all 5 User ID
122214 - fields.  Was able to use the code for messaging on this at line 290.
122215 -
122216 - Line 290 - Made this a general error message code.
122217 -
122218 -    It applies debug 99 to create messages that appear for a short
122219 -    period, then disappear.  This permits displaying a multi-line
122220 -    message on one line.
122221 -
122222 -    Decided to eliminate the second portion of the message that says to
122223 -    re-enter the last character.  It is helpful in Password field,
122224 -    where User cannot see what is entered, but they can use preview in
122225 -    the User ID field, to see what is there, and so do not need an
122226 -    additional instruction to re-enter the last key.
122227 -
122228 -
122229 - Line 130 - disconnected F1 to go to User ID field, until User enters a
122230 - Name.  If they enter a name and do not enter a password, SDS will
122231 - adopt generic POIMS password.
122232 -
122233 - Line 370 - disconnected Del key in User ID.  It is not really needed
122234 - since all 5 positions must be filled out.  The code is not working
122235 - quite correctly.  May use it later for password, and or, entering the
122236 - User name.
122237 -
122238 - Line 335 - changed the code for using arrow and backspace key in the
122239 - User ID field, by eliminating the trap to catch blank spaces. It does
122240 - not matter if User enters a space because of the code we added to make
122241 - sure all 5 positions are used.
122242 -
122243 -
122244 - Line 300 - added message for when a User ID is already being used;
122245 - code is cycles from line 1025, just below.
122246 -
122247 -
122248 - Line 1025 - added code to check for User ID, if we are adding a new
122249 - User to the system.
122250 -
122251 -   We can check both columns at once because if the User ID is in this
122252 -   thing at all, we will return an error message.
122253 -
122254 -   F3, tol avoid archiving, will bypass this flag, but require a match
122255 -   with the password.  Think we can accomplish by setting the start new
122256 -   user flag global 47 to 0.
122257 -
122258 -
122259 -
122260 - Launch without Archiving - F3
122261 -
122262 - Line 190 - added message explaining how to launch SDS without
122263 - archiving.  Gave it function F2, because the first function key is F1,
122264 - and this makes a simple sequence.  Also, we changed the key in the
122265 - Group Interface screen, from F3, to F2, so this maintains consistency.
122266 - Changed the preview feature to F3.
122267 -
122268 -    Changed it all back, because we want to use F2 in GI screen for
122269 -    save, so that is consistent.  F2 will be preview in Set-Up and F3
122270 -    will be no archive.
122271 -
122272 -
122273 - Line 215 - changed assignments for getkey, per above.  F3 sets the
122274 - same flag used in 04702, ref OF 1 line 365.
122275 -
122276 -
122277 -
122278 - Single User Only Flag - F2
122279 -
122280 - Line 510 - added F2 key operation in User ID screen of Setup, to
122281 - simply setgbl 74 90, which is evaluated at line 1205, under -label
122282 - launch.
122283 -
122284 - Line 1205 - added code under -label launch, to enter a # in the GI,
122285 - which is read at run-time by 04702 to launch this person's SDS
122286 - Schedule directly, and bypass the setup.
122287 -
122288 -      The code here enters the Single User flag, setcnt 73 2, in
122289 -      04702, and saves it, so the next time SDS is opened, the
122290 -      Schedule for the person in the Group Manager whose name is
122291 -      marked by the # symbol, will be opened immediately.
122292 -
122293 -
122294 -    This is the code I needed for the single User version.  I can pick
122295 -    up this flag, so that installation automatically sets this flag.
122296 -    In fact, we can set up in 0815, to hardwire this flag.
122297 -
122298 -
122299 - This person will not be able to start SDS without archiving, but I
122300 - don't think anybody does this anyway.
122301 -
122302 -
122303 - Line 1140 - same code goes here.
122304 -
122305 -
122306 -
1224 -
1225 -
1226 - 1607 : 04702
1227 -
122701 - Added code to launch a User directly without doing password
122702 - protection, if there is a # in either column that separates the lists
122703 - in 047027, the GI screen.  The # is entered in 0470211 at line 1120.
122704 -
122705 - Line 350 - evaluates the code, looking for # char, and if there, does
122706 - code that starts the User on that line.
122707 -
122708 - Line 480 - -label sfprfct this is the code that gets the information
122709 - from the Group Interface screen, and loads the specified User's
122710 - schedule.  It is called by the code at line 350.
122711 -
122712 -
122713 - Should be able to call this code by the mouse in executive services.
122714 -
