PDMWorks Workgroup vs Enterprise

[daveykbelgium]

Hi

I'm a freelance consultant. At my last contract I worked with PDMWorks WorkGroup, but in my new contract we have PDMWorks Enterprise.

With Workgroup, files were saved locally, outside the database, and for example, you could log-out of the databse, work at home, off-line etc., and just log-in to the databse to check work back in.

Is my understanding correct, that the two products are conceptually different? For Enterprise, you have to be connected to the database all the time. If you go home, no Internet connection etc., what happens - can you still work?

I can't believe this is the case - it would be too limiting. What methodologies do people use for such a case?

Kind regards

Dave

Hi, There is an option on the login dialog in Enterprise to work offline. This will turn all of your folders blue and will enable you to work without being connected to the database. Ensure that you have any files that you need checked out first.

To work online again login and goto tools>work online.

Hope this helps
