Add Startup Profile Dialog Box

Select a domain from the drop-down list.
Optionally, click the List Domain Members button to view a list of users that you can pick from.

NOTE: Depending on the size of your domain and speed of your network, this action could take a few moments or several minutes.

Select a Windows user from the list, or enter one manually in the Windows User field. You do not have to be connected to the domain if you enter the name manually. This user must be a member of Remote Desktop User group, if you want start iFIX with Remote Desktop Services.
Accept the default iFIX Node Name, or enter another one.

NOTE: If you manually entered a Windows user name, you must also manually enter an iFIX node name. The default name is not used in this case.

Enter the location and name of the iFIX SCU file that you want to associate with this user. For example, you might enter C:\Program Files (x86)\GE\iFIX\LOCAL\FIX.SCU. If a default iFIX SCU name is supplied, you can use it or enter another one.

Optionally, you can browse for an SCU file, by clicking the Browse (...) button.

Select the options that you want to make available for the specified user from the iFIX Startup dialog box.

If you select the Allow User to Run Sample System check box, the specified Windows user can start the sample system. The Sample System is a legacy product option and no longer shipped as part of iFIX 5.8.
Similarly, if you select the Allow User to Modify Nodename and SCU check box, these fields are available for editing when the specified user attempts to start iFIX.
If you clear both the Allow User to Run Sample System and the Allow User to Modify Nodename and SCU check boxes, the iFIX Startup dialog box does not appear for the specified user.
