Relevant only for SAP Easy Document Management 7.0 and above

Solution 

In easyDMS 7.0, the registry entries have been classified in two groups:- Centrally controlled (set in HKLM section by Admin during installation process) and- User controlled (set by user).

Also, Admin has a flexibility to allow user to set a registry entry in user area thus moving it fromcentrally controlled (HKLM) section to make it user specific.

1. Functional Keys: 

1.1 Centrally Controlled Registry Values: The following entries are controlled centrally. The administrator can give users control by settingthe <entry name>_AllowUser value to 1.

- AllowSavePassword (DWORD): If set to 0, then the user can not save password.If set to 1, then itworks as standard that is user is allowed to save password. Default value is 1. 

- CheckBeforeLogoff (DWORD): If it is set to 1, a dialog box will appear showing all the checkedout files before logging off from easyDMS. Default value is 0.

registry setting will only work when "Lifetime of Copies in File Buffer" is a non-zerovalue. Default value is 0.

- DisableAutoCheckin (DWORD): If its value is set to 1 then files will not be checked inautomatically anymore. EasyDMS checks in files when there is no lock on the files.

0, the file icon is displayed. User should logoff and close the explorer before changing thisregistry entry. Default value is 0. If 'Show Thumbnails' option is enabled in the Layout then thatwould be given preference over this registry entry.
