Setting Up the SQL Database6.7. Assigning a Workstation NameA Central computer cannot be assigned a workstation name. A workstation can only beassigned to a Local or Service computer.Assigning a name to each workstation lets the workstation identify what customers or regionsshould be accessed or assigned and lets the workstation ignore irrelevant strings. Thisimproves polling and data extraction efficiency, and String Status displays only stringsassigned to the customer or region. If no name is assigned, all strings are available, regardlessof customer or region.After a name is assigned, a user with administrator rights can view and modify all strings onthe String Status screen, but only strings assigned to that workstation are auto polled. If aworkstation is later unassigned, it can display all strings and autopoll all strings if enabled,even if the Workstation field on Setup|Customer still shows the unassigned name.After naming the workstation, you must give each user access rights to connect to specificstrings. All strings within a region appear on String Status, but only users who have accessrights may connect to the strings. Refer to Setting User Access Rights.String Status > Setup|System|WorkstationAssign a Workstation Name - To assign a workstation name to a Local or Service computer,first confirm the BMDM is installed as Local or Service, indicated at the top of theString Status screen.
