User changes to columns disappear

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Morten Steengaard 555

NAV 2009: When I implement my code at a customer, I open the "License Information" form and use the "Change..." button to activate my company's developer license. After that, I open the database, import my code and compile. Then I close NAV and reopen it. Then I make sure I use the correct database and company, and I test my code.

It seems that this makes NAV delete all personalization for all the users in NAV, so NAV have forgotten which columns they want to see or hide, and which order the columns should come in.

How do I avoid changing the users personal setup?

Sometimes, when I close NAV, I get the question: "Do you want to save the changes to the ZUP-file?". Does it affect the other users if I say yes? Do I only get that quesstion when I have changed the order of some columns (or see/hide)?

Hope you can help.

    Hi again.

    I have found out that the users every night got an old zup file automatically. So this had nothing to do with the things I have done.

    Thank you!

    Thank you for your reply. That is good.

    But somehow I mess up the user settings for all the other users. At least that is what the users are saying.

    If you make any change to the interface it will ask you that question and will update it.  Anyhow the zup file is user specific, so if will affect only that particular client.
