New workspace configurations can be generated, existing ones can be deleted by c
licking on the corresponding
button.
It is possible to define the configuration's name under which it can be restored
later on. Without defining a

Path of Configuration File for User-Specific Tools and Menus
The entire user interface status will be searched for, read and written in a sta
ndard XML configuration file under
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\userdata\Zuken\E3.series\<version>\
A distinction is made between three XML configuration files which are composed d
epending on the following configurations:
XML-User-Configuration File:
The 'XML-User-Configuration-File' saves the current state of the workspace confi
guration.
It is written as follows:
workspace-<module name>-<program language code>.xml
(Example: workspace-logic-44.xml
XML-Standard-Configuration File:
The XML-standard-configuration File' is a copy of the
' with the state of the first saving. It is generated
automatically after the second start of E3.
It is written as follows:

XML-User-Configuration 'File

workspace-<module name>-<program language code>-default.xml
(Example: workspace-dbe-49-default.xml)
XML-Admin-Configuration File:
The 'XML-Admin-Configuration File' is a template of the workspace and only relev
ant for users with administrative rights. You will
find details in the paragraph workspace configuration with administrator templat
e.
workspace-<module name>-<program language code-admin>.xml
(Example: workspace-cable-44-admin.xml)

Note:
?Here you will find a list of module names (parameters).
?Here you will find a list of program language codes (language codes).
Change the Memory Location of Configuration Files
It is possible to define another memory location for the configuration file with
in the registry editor. For this purpose the string AppData must
be installed again under
HKLM\Software\Zuken\E3.series\version\AppData
By right-click on the string AppData the context menu command Change will open th
e dialog Edit String. Under Value: the new memory
location can be defined.
The file structure 'Zuken\E3.series\<version>\' will automatically be installed
at the given memory location where the XML configuration
files will be archived in future:
An existing XML file will only be written at saving under View -> Workspace-Conf
igurations... and finishing E.series when writing
authorizations are available on the file.
When an XML file is used by choosing the configuration with Workspace-Configurat
ions... and the path given in the registry editor, these
restrictions are also valid. Is no writing authorization given, E.series can't ov
erwrite the XML file and a copy will be generated in the local
register.
?C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\userdata\Zuken\E3.series\<version>
When the entry is not available in the registry editor or no XML file is given,
the XML file will be searched for, read and written in the local path.
Workspace Configuration with Administrator Template
The E3-Administrator can define an individual workspace with user-specific tools
and menus . This workspace template can be provided to
further users as XML-Admin-Configuration File .
The following paragraph will explain the function on the basis of a figure:

1. The E3 Administrator defines an individual workspace (tools, tool bar) via an
XML-User-Configuration File.
2. The E3 Administrator renames the generated XML-User-Configuration File to an
XML-Admin-Configuration File:
XML-User-Configuration File:workspace-<module name>-<program language code>.xml
XML-Admin-Configuration File: workspace-<module name>-<program language code-admi
n>.xml
3. This XML-Admin-Configuration File will afterwards be copied to a central dire
ctory which will enable the user to access.
Note: The following rights must be defined for the central directory:
The XML-Admin-Configuration File mustn't be read-only.
This central directory can be called AppData="D:\E3-UserInterface\", for example
. Underneath must be a register
'Zuken\E3.series\<version>\' where the XML files are available.

4. The string AppData with the value 'Path where the central directory is instal
led'will be installed for the user in the registry.

5. When starting E3 for the first time the XML-Admin-Configuration File will be
copied from the central directory and saved as XML-UserConfiguration File and XML-Standard-Configuration File.
The template of the E3 Administrator will be used after next start of E3. Additi
onal changes in the workspace made by the user will be saved in
the XML-User-Configuration File.
If the E3 Administrator sets a more recent XML-Admin-Configuration File than the
XML-Standard-Configuration File to the central
directory, an automatic comparison of both files occurs. The changes of the XMLUser-Configuration File are adopted afterwards.
Note: For saving the new XML-Admin-Configuration File the authorization for dele
ting must temporarily be deactivated. (deactivate check box
reject)
Path for Configuration File for Context Menu Commands
Using the configuration file dbcontextmenu.cfg it's possible to define which con
text menu commands are to be displayed in the Database tree
and in the Component Table. The configuration file is stored in the Registry und
er HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\...\ContextMenuAccessPath. When
calling up a context menu for the first time, the configuration file is read onc
e.
To change the configuration file's directory, for example to have the file store
d at a location with access permissions, the path and location
must be adjusted in the Registry Editor:
Double-click on the ContextMenuAccessPath value name or

right-click on this value and select Modify from the displayed context menu and
enter the new Value data
