This checkbox turns the User View Filtering feature on or off. It is unchecked by default, meaning that all Remote Spool Window users can see all printers and documents within the BHCS system.
The User/Group section permits printer and document viewing privileges for specific users or groups. These buttons launch standard Windows style dialogs to allow you to find any Active Directory Users or Groups accessible to the computer that the Barr Host Communication Suite is running on.
Add User button – Adds a specific user from the BHCS local machine or an available domain.
Add Group button – Adds a group from the BHCS local machine or an available domain.
Remove - Removes selected user or group from user view filter.
User or Group can view all Printers and Documents checkbox - This checkbox allows for complete viewing of all printers and documents.
After a user or group is selected, all printers within the BHCS system will be listed with accompanying check boxes. Just check which printers that user or group should be able to see.
Clicking any checkbox will make that printer(s) viewable to the selected user or group.
Dependent on user or group selected, the Visible Documents Filter uses one specific document property field to determine which documents are visible, called the Source Name.
Source Name (Field Name: NDHBSRCNAME) - All documents that come into the Barr Spool get assigned a default Source Name that indicates what type of input source the document originated from.
Source Name Location - Find this column under the Data Set Header Internal Custom Section - Field Name = NDHBSRCNAME, described as Source Name.
