In EMDI you can store settings either in text files under the personal folder, or in the database.
That way you choose whether each terminal/user keeps its own settings, or whether settings are read from the database.
In General settings find Local configuration files.
- Enabled (default): settings are stored as files under
personal\[Windows user name]\in the install folder. - Disabled: settings are stored in the database, so they are shared between terminals that open the same database.
- Core install connection settings (e.g. database path) stay in the main
settings.iniin the EMDI folder.
Settings that always stay in the database
Some settings are stored always in the database (db_only), even when local files are enabled, so they stay shared across all terminals that use the same database.

- Auto ID based on (e.g. based on customer relationship)

Tips
- The
personalfolder is inside the EMDI install folder. - If you use a second profile with a key in the seventh shortcut parameter, a separate subfolder is created under
personalfor that profile. - When you change the storage mode, settings are not transferred automatically.
