IMPORTANT UPDATE in WMS 4.6.x |
|
Beginning in WMS 4.6.x, company databases are only created, removed and upgraded by the administrator on the WMS Server using the Database Maintenance Utility; individual workstation users no longer have the ability to create, remove and upgrade company databases from individual workstations. |
A company is used in WMS for tracking all activities that revolve around production building. Each company has a separate physical database that tracks divisions, areas, jobs, suppliers, pricing, purchase orders, templates, and schedules. At least one company must be defined in order to use the WMS software.
The configuration options selected affect all companies in the database and all user workstations. This allows the client to set up the corporate preferences one time, on one workstation. The preferences are effective on all workstations, in any new company that is set up, or any existing company selected in which to work.
