Manage Global Central Settings

This feature helps you to centrally pass the global setting for each user of Process Runner from Innowera Control Panel.

This section contains the following topics:

EShare

EShare allows you to share and collaborate Process files created by different users within an enterprise. Instead of placing the Process files on your network drive or local computer, you can keep them at a central location so that other Process Runner users can use and share the Process files. You can deploy EShare while setting up Process Runner or at a later stage. The Central Settings contains the list of active central settings in which this EShare connection is configured/enabled. You can select any of the active central setting from the grid and edit them directly using the edit option. For more information about Central Settings, see Manage Central Settings.
