Telemet Orion
provides a quick and easy way to allow multiple Orion users to share centrally
located Ticker Lists. You can use Orion’s Central Lists feature to give all
users access to the same model or approved List of tickers without each of them
having to maintain the List themselves.
To set up Central
Lists please use the following steps:
1)
Create a location on a shared network drive that will contain the
Telemet Orion List files to be shared. There is no restriction on the location
or the folder name that you may choose. Example:
P:\Telemet Central Lists
2)
The person who is responsible for maintaining the shared Lists
will create and modify them using their normal Telemet Orion program. When they
are done they will simply copy the List files to be shared from their Telemet\lists folder to the shared network folder
designated in step one.
NOTE: To find a file name
for a specific List, select the List in question then click on Options>
List> Edit and click on the General tab
3)
Orion users who wish to access the Central Lists will first need
to set-up the link to the file location.
From any Telemet Orion window, choose Tools > Defaults and
then click on the File Loc tab. Enter the path to the shared network folder
designated in step 1 into the Central
Location > Lists field, and
then choose OK.
NOTE: The Telemet
user who maintains the shared Lists should not have the setting for the
Central Location> Lists’ field. Having that setting on their workstation
would cause their Orion to see two copies of the same Lists and will trigger
warning messages for them
4)
Close and reopen Telemet Orion. Orion will now access Lists both
from the user’s personal Orion folders and the Central Lists location. Lists
accessed from the Central Lists location will be read-only and cannot be
modified by the user.
