Before using the ResSched Web, you must establish several settings for how you want it to operate. ResSched Web uses the same resource and system administration settings you have established with the ResSched Corporate Edition, but there are additional settings unique to ResSched Web. You enter these additional settings by running the WebSet.exe program installed into your ResSched data folder. Select Update Settings from the menu bar.
General Tab
The General tab settings control how ResSched works on your server and how it displays information generally.
Listen on port
Which port on your server should ResSched Web use to receive requests from your users. Web applications normally use port 80 but only one web application can use that port at a time. If another web application on your server is already using port 80, use port 88. If both these ports are occupied, you can use a different port but you should confirm that the port is not used by another function and that the port is secure.
For providing access over the Internet, you must go one step further and create a route, so that users from outside can access this port on this machine. This will mean going to the settings for router/modem and explicitly open port 80 to the outside, so that users connecting to your modem (from the outside on port 80) get redirected to the internal machine. This process does vary from router to router, but is usually fairly intuitive.
Outgoing e-mail
Several ResSched Web functions use e-mail to pass information to individuals. You must enter the name and port of the mail SMTP mail server you wish to use for outgoing messages from ResSched web, and a return address for the outgoing messages.
Date and time formats
Enter the date and time formats you wish ResSched web to use when displaying or entering schedule information
Show client
If client is not mandatory in the System Settings of ResSched Corporate Edition, you have the option of excluding the client in the ResSched web schedules and entry pages.
Show category
Category is an optional entry for ResSched, so you can choose to exclude it from the ResSched Web displays
User Access Tab
The User Access Tab controls who can access ResSched Web and what they can do.
Allow public users to create own IDs
This option allows new users to create their user ID. These user ID's have reserve user rights and must use their e-mail address as their user ID. To provide view only access to the public or other non ResSched users, use an external link. This feature is only available to organizations that have licensed ResSched Web with the public users option.
Notify admin when booking is made
If you have allowed users to create their own accounts, you can designate a resource or system administrator to receive notification whenever a reserve booking is made. You must enter the e-mail address of the administrator who is to receive the notifications
Domain restrictions
Even for public or semi-public users, you will want to limit who can be a ResSched user. Domain restrictions let you filter potential users by the domain name of their e-mail address. You can choose whether you want to limit users to a list of approved domains (white list) or exclude those users with specified domains such as web mail accounts like hotmail.com, yahoo.com, or gmail.com (black list). In either case, you must enter the name of a txt file with the list of approve or excluded domains one entry per line.
Banned individuals list
If you are using a white list, but wish to exclude some users who have an approved domain, enter the name of txt file that has the list excluded e-mail addresses.
External IDs list
You can make a view only user ID part of the ResSched Web URL for inclusion on other pages or sites. Click on the link will open ResSched with that user ID and its access rights. However, that user ID must be listed in this txt file one entry per line.
Errors Log Tab
This tab is just a diagnostic tool to assist with technical support.
