Shop-Trak Using Group Configurations for Multi-Site Logins

Shop-Trak has the ability to add Group Configurations for Multi-Site customers. It allows users to log in to their appropriate site’s Shop-Trak without having to always use custom Shop-Trak URLs. It will also work with the One-Click client install.

Set Up Configurations and Group Configurations

Prerequisite: An Administrator must have performed the Shop-Trak installation.

Create Configurations in the Shop-Trak Configuration Manager found at Start > All Programs > Infor > Shop-Trak > LCConfigMenu. Select the Shop-Trak Configuration Manager button. Within the Actions box, add Configurations as needed.
Select the Groups button and add Group Configurations for your sites. Mark which Configurations are associated within each Group Configuration. Multiple Configurations in a Group Configuration will provide users a drop-down list to choose their Configuration.
Run the Shop-Trak Web Server Configuration Manager, also found on the Shop-Trak Configuration menu.
Se tup the URL paths that users will need to get to the Shop-Trak application. See below for URL path information.
Send the URL to the client for the appropriate Configuration and/or Group Configuration.
Shop-Trak users install Shop-Trak from the URL.

URL Path Information

The URL can be found by right-clicking and choosing Properties on the menu item Shop-Trak found under Start > All Programs > Infor >. The URL with the added Configuration and/or Group Configuration information will be:

http://servername/path to Shop-Trak app /LabrTrak.application?configgroup=group&configuration=configuration

It is not necessary to use both configuration and configgroup parameters. One is sufficient.

Examples of URL paths:

http://SLServer\LabrTrak\LabrTrak.application?configuration=Lincoln

http://SLServer\LabrTrak\LabrTrak.application?configgroup=EAST

http://SLServer\LabrTrak\LabrTrak.application?configgroup=EAST&configuration=Baltimore

Other Information

Shop-Trak will hold the ConfigGroup name each time a URL runs using the ConfigGroup parameter, so the client will always log into the appropriate site.
At least one configuration must exist in order to open Shop-Trak.
The top Configuration in the list is the default configuration. To specify a default Configuration, check its Default box when adding or updating it.
Shop-Trak uses the default Configuration if no group exists or if no configuration is specified in the URL.
If multiple configurations exist and the URL contains a Configuration, Shop-Trak uses the Configuration from the URL.
When a Group Configuration exists and it contains one Configuration and the group is in the URL, Shop-Trak uses that Group's one Configuration.
When a Group Configuration exists and it contains multiple configurations and the Group Configuration is in the URL, a form displays for users to choose which Configuration Shop-Trak they would like to use.
When Group Configurations exist containing multiple Configurations and a Group is in the URL and a Configuration is in the URL and that Configuration is part of the URL's group, Shop-Trak uses that Configuration.
When Group Configurations exist and a Group is in the URL and a Configuration is in the URL, but the Configuration is not one of those in the URL's Group Configuration, then Shop-Trak uses the Configuration that is in the URL.
