The properties described in this topic apply both to User Forms and User Pattern Forms. (User Patterns only apply to systems on which ClearSCADA can create new User accounts automatically as part of an External Authentication process. For more information, see Create User Accounts from a User Pattern.)
It is possible to take ClearSCADA database items offline, edit them, and re-deploy them in ClearSCADA using custom-built external applications. To do this, you will need an appropriate external application and a user account that has Manage Offline Objects enabled.
To define whether a User can manage items offline by using an external application:
-
Either:
- Display the relevant User Form (to define the settings that apply to an individual User account).
- Display the relevant User Pattern Form (if applicable to your system, to define the settings that ClearSCADA is to apply to new User accounts that it might be triggered to create automatically at logon.)
- Select the General tab.
- Use the Manage Offline Objects check box to enable or disable the feature as required. (Select to enable, clear to disable).
