To set up a multi-user database, first you must establish a network directory, accessible by a drive letter, to which all users have read/write/create access. Additionally, you can opt to have ClipMate poll the database for changes made by other users, and notify you. But with our new database technology, you CAN allow multiple users to add or update clips in the same collection.
Whichever user updated the collection last, would wipe out any work done by other users. Previous versions of ClipMate allowed this as well, but it didn't provide for multiple users making updates to the same collection. Consider a tech support or document assembly department able to share common boilerplate clips on the network server.
This can be as simple as a single user wanting common clips on multiple machines, or you can think much bigger. Although each user should be directing the bulk of their clips to a database on their local hard drive, you can set up a secondary database on a network server for everyone to use for sharing clips. ClipMate can share data on a network in a workgroup setting.
