Enabling user environment customization using group setup files

jaleco

Can anyone offer insight into how to enable individual users to customize their environments when working in multiple projects, each project having multiple users, and each project having its own setup files?

Is there a specific PATH order that setup files will be loaded in, such that person A can maintain their own setup files that will be loaded before the group/project setup files, and independent of person B's personal setup files so that there are no collisions?

Or if not, is this something that could be coded into the setup files, to look for personal setup files on startup, and append them to the group/project setup file content?

  • Thanks Andrew,

    I will read up on that section.

    This is related to a previous Post - "Open Layout View to spec'd Configuration" -

    I am trying to support multiple users with different monitor configurations (and preferences of course) to personalize their desktops without colliding with multiple, existing project setup files....which are mostly default as far as window configurations, but otherwise distinct from project to project.

    I can modify any given project's setup files for window layout to suit one user, but not more than one user.  I am referring to the CIW, LSW, Lib Mgr and Layout viewer when I say window layout.  For example, I can define the default Layout window size and location in the .cdsenv file, but that is a project-specific file.  I can define the CIW size and location in the .cdsinit, but that is also a project-specific file.
