Clear User Registry

Associated with: Users

Security permission required to access this pick action: System Admin

Use the Clear User Registry pick action to clear the registry settings that are associated with a User Account. This includes values that are stored in the Geo SCADA Expert User Registry. This comprises name/value pairs that are used for Mimic animation, which are stored as part of the Geo SCADA Expert User Account (these are not entries in the Windows Registry). The pick action is only available if custom registry settings exist for the User Account (for example, due to the user using the SetRegistry or GetRegistry functions, or the REGISTRY method).

The registry values are cleared immediately. However, with a user that is currently logged on to Geo SCADA Expert, the registry changes will only become apparent the next time that they log on.

You might be asked to refrain from changing User Registry settings while your Geo SCADA Expert system is in the process of being upgraded. For more information, see Upgrading Geo SCADA Expert.

When accessing the database as the Guest User account, or when logged on as the Super User on a ViewX Client, the registry value is only retained during the logged in session with such users. These User Accounts do not retain and store the value.
