Define a shared store (System Admins Only)
It is possible for a System Administrator to define a property so that custom spreadsheet reports are accessible by multiple users via a shared folder.
1 Choose a shared folder that multiple users can access, and create a subfolder there named "templates". For example:
F:\shared\apriori_reports\templates
4 Make sure that aPriori is not running, otherwise you might lose any changes to the properties file when you restart aPriori.
5 Change to the folder C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\aPriori\<version>.
6 In this folder you can make edits to one of two files:
• apriori.user.properties -- (This file gets overwritten every time you exit aPriori.)
• apriori.system.properties – (This file does NOT get overwritten when you exit aPriori. This file may not already exist in this folder. If not, go ahead and create it.)
Add the following entry to file, pointing to the shared folder that you created in Step 1 above. For example:
apriori.watchpoint.report.dir=F\:\\shared\\apriori_reports
Note that you must preface special characters and spaces with "\", and that you do NOT want to include the “template” sub-folder in this line.
7 Save the file you have just edited.
8 Start aPriori.
9 Click Tools > Spreadsheet Reports > Install Spreadsheet Reports.
10 Navigate to the .zip spreadsheet report file(s) that you wish to share and click Ok to install them. When done, these files should exist in the shared folder you specified.
11 For all users who should have access to shared reports, repeat Steps 2 through 6.
12 For any of these users who have reports to contribute to the shared folder, ensure that thbye have write access to the shared folder, then repeat Steps 7 and 8.
