Selecting a name | Ytria Documentation

Selecting a Name from a NAB

There are functions throughout the EZ Suite that will require you to select names from a NAB within your environment.

In order to find and select the name that you need the EZ Suite tools offer a standardized Name dialog with multiple options for finding the proper name, regardless of the number of servers and/or NABs within your environment.

The Names Dialog

The Names dialog offers a range of options to let you find and select names from your environment.

The following information fields and options are available to select the server/NAB that you want to choose your names from:

NOTE	The list of servers that appears in the Server drop-down list may not look the same as what you see in Notes. This is because Ytria tools use a slightly different method for generating a server list: First: This list will display the servers listed as connection documents in your local address book. Second: It will add any server for which you have a database tile on your Notes client workspace (this is stored in the local Desktop.dsk). Third: It appends the content of the notes.ini entries 'YtriaServerNamesCN1' to 'YtriaServerNamesCNx' ('x' being a number between 1 and 255). These multiple notes.ini entries are created (if necessary) to circumvent a 256 character limit for notes.ini variables. The entries are created/updated each time you enter or select a server in any of the Ytria tools. Fourth: It will add the 'Local' entry at the top of the list.

The names in your selected NAB are displayed in a FlexyView enabled panel on the left of the dialog.
On the right of the dialog is a list of the currently added names.
