Data Transfer module

 

Data transfer configuration settings

To edit the configuration settings, you need the 'Configure Remote Data Transfer' permission. This feature has a database-wide scope.

The steps required to configure remote data entry are detailed in the MACRO Installation Guide and so it is likely that all configuration will have been completed during the installation of MACRO.

To access the configuration settings, select Configure... from the tool bar.

Site

Name of remote site.

Study Office

This is a name you choose to represent the configured MACRO server and does not need to match any other setting.

 

Advanced Settings
