Open Group Wizard

The Open Group Wizard can be launched from:

• The Title Bar

  

  Once a Group is open, the Close Group option will become available.
• The Command Bar

  

The Open Group Wizard is used to open existing, Individual and Shared DriveWorks Groups.

Select Group Type

First select the type of group you want to open.

• If the group is displayed in the Recent list, select and double click it to launch the username and password prompt for that group.
• To open an Individual group on a file system, select the Individual group option and click Next.
• To open a Shared group from a server, select the Shared group option and click Next.

Open an Individual Group

To open an Individual group, click the Browse... button to locate the group file, and click Finish. You will then be prompted for the selected groups username and password.

If the group being opened was created in an earlier version of DriveWorks you will be prompted to upgrade the group.

Click Yes to upgrade the group or No to close the dialog and return to the main application.

Open a Shared Group

To open a Shared group:

1. Select Shared group.. from the Open Group wizard, click Next.
2. Select the Pro Server URL from the Server field.

   Typically this will be:

   http://<Machine Name>:54380

   Machine Name is the machine hosting the DriveWorks Pro Server.

   The protocol and port number could have been configured differently in the Configuration File.

   Versions prior to DriveWorks 23

   Older versions of DriveWorks require the name of the machine hosting Pro Server (protocol and port are not required).

3. Select the group to open from the Group field.
4. Click Finish.

When opening a Shared group, there is the option to search and filter groups hosted on the Pro Server. Personal filters can also be applied.
