Connection Management
You can terminate or restart the application for the currently connected users.
Click Database from the main menu, select Connection & Maintenance, then click the "Connected Users" section at the top.
This window allows you to execute the desired command on the selected user(s) screen.
To select multiple users, hold down the CTRL key and then click each user you want to select.
Disconnection Methods
Force Mode: A forced disconnection will abruptly terminate the application on the user's screen
without any warnings. Beware that this may result in data loss if the target user has any unsaved records at that time.
Request Mode: This mode depends on whether any unsaved records are found on the user's computer.
If not, the application is terminated without notifying the user, similar to Force Mode.
Otherwise, the user is prompted to save changes and exit the application. Beware that the user may not
exit the application if they do not notice the prompt (e.g. the computer is left idle) or simply choose not to exit intentionally.
Tasks After Disconnection
Exit Only: The application is terminated and not restarted. The application will only start again by
user action or during the next restart of the user's computer.
You can prefer this option when you need to perform any file-based operations related to your database or
maintenance on the server or network folders containing your database that may affect or disrupt active database connections.
Beware however, that this does not prevent the user from starting the application again immediately, so it is a good idea to
inform the user(s) first before performing any maintenance.
Restart: The application is terminated and then restarted immediately.
You can prefer this option if you have recently made design changes to your database. When the database design
is changed while users are connected, it can cause error messages on user screens. All users must restart
the application to avoid any inconsistency related issues.
Logout: The application is terminated and then restarted immediately. The user will then be prompted with the login window,
even if the user has set the application to log in automatically.
