Retrofitting Users for the Home Project

If you implement the home project feature on a DiveLine server with existing users, you need to retrofit these users to use the home project defaults for the home directory and access pattern. This procedure does not change any access settings already in place for existing directories.

To retrofit existing users for the home project feature:

1. On the Users tab, double-click an existing user.

   The user opens for editing.

   

2. On the General tab in the Home Directory box of the DiveLine section, enter the path to the home directory or use the browse button to navigate to a directory within the home project. Ensure this matches the pattern from the Home Directory Format field at the top of the Users tab as shown here. You can copy and paste this setting from the Home Directory Format field in the Settings chevron area of the Users tab.

   

3. Save the tab.

4. Have the user log into the DiveLine server with ProDiver. This creates the user's folder within the home project.

5. Place a DiveBook and App Template file in the user's home directory (if used).

6. Return to the user's General tab, and set the DiveBook and App Template in the DiveLine section. Leave the project as <HOME PROJECT> and browse to select each from the user's home directory.

7. Save the tab.

   For example:

   

   The user is now set to use the home directory in the home project.
