Fill in an additional fields of the type Choice with existing data

Wednesday, 18 February 2009 18:14 by cdeschamps

Fill in an additional fields of the type Choice with existing data

In PlanningPME, you have the possibility to add additional fields of the type Choice in the Tasks, Clients, Projects and Resources windows.

 

PlanningPME put at your disposal a field of the type "Choice" that appears as a combo box. The list of values can be filled in PlanningPME in the box "Values" or it can be fed by a script while opening PlanningPME.

Here is an example:

'Register PlanningPME.dll before -> c:\windows\system32\regsvr32 PlanningPME.dll

Set ppme = CreateObject("PlanningPME.Application")
ppme.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Program Files\Target Skills\PlanningPME\PlanningPME.pp"
ppme.Connect

set dfs = ppme.GetDataFields(84) ' PpTask1

for i=0 to dfs.Count()

   if dts.Item(i).Field = "MYCHOICE" then

      dts.Item(i).Data = "Item1" & vbCrLf  & "Item2" & vbCrLf  & "Item3"

   end if

next i 

You just need to register this script with the extension .vbs and put it in the settings while launching PlanningPME (Menu Tools -> Options -> Integration) as shown below:

 

If you want to feed the values from an external database, you can open your own connexion and to browse the elements to add them...or just ask us for an integration.

Remove the licence and activate it on another workstation

Wednesday, 18 February 2009 11:55 by cdeschamps

Remove the licence and activate it on another workstation

Before uninstalling PlanningPME from any workstation, it is mandatory to delete the software licence, in order to be able to re-use it on another computer.

1 - Delete the PlanningPME licence of an existing computer still active

You can delete the licence on your own. Open PlanningPME and go to the menu File -> Delete the licence. 

 

The name of your computer will then be removed from the list of registered computers we have for your company.

You can now register your licence again on a new computer.

 

2 - Delete the licence of a non active workstation

If your workstation is out of order and you cannot access to PlanningPME to delete the licence, you may want to temporarily rename the new computer so that its name matches exactly the name of the unavailable computer (Here in our example: TS-LAETITIA. See Chapter I). To change the name of your new workstation, you just need to "Start" the Windows® menu, select "Control Panel" then "System" then the tab "Computer Name" and click on "Change"

Once your workstation has got a new name, you can open PlanningPME, go to the menu File -> Delete the licence. 

When the licence is successfully deleted, you can change the name of your computer back to the previous one, and register your version of PlanningPME using File ->Registration via Internet
