Configuration names

You will be asked to create at least one client configuration name for each site. A site can have multiple configurations associated with it.

The configuration name is what the user sees and selects at login - so it should be descriptive and easily distinguished from other sites’ configurations. For example, you might have two configurations for the ONT site called ONT_SALES and ONT_WHSE, using different forms databases but the same application database.

The maximum length for a configuration name is 50 characters and can include spaces. However, only the first 25 or so characters are displayed in the selection drop-down list on the SyteLine login screen. To allow users to see the entire configuration name, we recommend that you keep the names shorter than 25 characters.

Differentiation of configuration names should be obvious in the first five characters or so. This allows you to quickly distinguish between configurations when you have several SyteLine sessions open at once.
