Participate in the usability improvement program

The Usability Improvement Program (UIP) was created to give all Boyum IT customers the ability to contribute to the design and development of the Boyum IT products.

 

Participation in the UIP is voluntary, and the end-results are

software improvements to better meet the needs of our customers.

 

How does UIP work?

When you choose to participate in the UIP, the add-on automatically sends information to Boyum IT about how you are using the product (number of configurations, number of usages etc.). The information then is utilized to improve the features customers use most often.

 

The UIP does not send any Business Data or confidential information.

 

All data sent between you and the Boyum IT servers are encrypted.

 

Will I be contacted or receive spam if I participate?

 

No. UIP reports do not contain contact information, such as names, addresses, or phone numbers. This means that you will not be asked to participate in surveys or to read junk e-mail, and you will not be contacted in regards to your participation.

 

If I choose to participate, can I opt out later?

 

Yes. You can choose to start or stop participating at any time using the configuration options.

 

Is the Usability Improvement Program spyware?

 

No. Spyware can collect information or act on your computer without your full knowledge or consent. UIP does not take actions if you choose to not participate. You can also start or stop participating at any time.

 

Can I review the information before it is sent to Boyum IT?

 

Unfortunately the information cannot be reviewed for a couple of reasons:

•The Usability Improvement Program is designed to enable all our customers to participate. To be able to handle large number of customers sending data, the collected information is recorded so that the Boyum IT servers can efficiently process all the data. The nature of this processing makes it difficult for most customers so review the information.

•The data is sent automatically, without interrupting your work.

For these reasons, the Usability Improvement Program is not able to show the information collected.

 

We recognize that some customers might be uncomfortable allowing the information collected by UIP to be sent without having an opportunity to review it fully even though the information does not contain contact information. If you are uncomfortable with sharing this information, please choose not to participate.

Customer-specific extensions local

Define where the customer-specific extensions has to be saved

By default these are saved in following directory
\\[server]\b1_shr\beas software\project

This can be changed in the option "Directory for customer-specific extensions"

 

All directories are copied from
\\[server]\b1_shr\beas software\project

to

%programdata%\beas\project

and checked and run from there if this function is used.

 

Note:

Beas has no access to the local directory if it is launched in service mode. In this case it is necessary that the option is deactivated.

 

Option deactivated:

 

Advantage for a central directory:

Distribution to the clients is not necessary. Thus a deleted file is deleted on all clients and changes will be translated immediately without restart. Server service mode only works if this function is deactivated.
 

Disadvantage:

If the network is already overloaded, this function may worsen the situation.

 

Option activated

 

Advantage:

Changes can be performed and checked, before these are distributed.
Program performance is better at heavily loaded networks.

 

Disadvantage:

Server service has no access to it.

A deleted file must be deleted manually on all clients in the directory %programdata%\beas\project. An automatic solution is not performed.

 

beas 9.2 PL: 04

Server Directory for customer-specific extensions

Determines the local directory where customized extensions are stored. If you leave the field empty, the following directory is used:

 

\\[server]\b1_shr\beas software\project

\\[server]\b1_shr\beas software\addon

 

Below the defined directory the following structure is created:

 

[chosen folder]

  |_ AddOn

         |_ [one folder per AddOn]

  |_ project

         |_ standard (default folder for customizing scripts]
         |_ [customer-name] (Folder for customer specification)

 

Example: In AddOn-Administration - Customer-Specification - Directory was set up:"beas"
In Configuration wizard \\myserver\project\

Customized extensions are saved under: \\myserver\project\project\beas

 

Important:

The directory needs to be accessible by all clients.

Should not be changed if possible.
