WINDEV Concepts

Part 4: Advanced concept 129 3 Implementing the User Groupware 3.1 Adding the User Groupware to an application To implement the User Groupware in a WINDEV application: 1. On the "Project" tab, in the "Project" group, click "User Groupware". 2.  In the description window of the current project configuration, in "User Groupware: Disabled", click "Change". 3. The User Groupware settings window allows you to enable the User Groupware and define: • The type and start mode of the User Groupware. • The type of customization. • The type of database and the location of the User Groupware data files (Standard User Groupware). • The user authentication mode (Standard User Groupware). • The use of a specific connection service (Standard User Groupware). • The BaaS mode settings. Type of User Groupware There are various types of groupware: • Standard User Groupware : The User Groupware will be integrated in its "Standard" version: the User Groupware will be associated only to your application, and the rights will be defined from the application. If this option is selected, two specific tabs are displayed: • the "Files" tab, which allows you to specify the type of database and authentication used. • the "OAuth" tab, which allows you to specify the connection services available to users. • BaaS User Groupware : This option allows you to integrate a BaaS (Backend as a Service) User Groupware and manage rights via a server. If this option is selected, two specific tabs are displayed: • the "BaaS" tab, which allows you specify the characteristics of the BaaS server, the user accounts and the URLs of the administration sites. • the "Email" tab, which allows you to customize the messages to be sent to users (registration validation or password reset emails). BaaS User Groupware: Required configuration : Two cases may occur: • If you are using a PCSCloud platform : the required elements are installed by default on your platform. Reminder: PCSCloud is a paid, turnkey solution. For more details, see PCSCloud. • If you are not using a PCSCloud platform : install the following elements: • an HFSQL server, • the reserved server, including the modules for the Mobile User Groupware (WDBaaS). For more details, see Configuring a BaaS server (User Groupware and Private Store). Starting the User Groupware Several start modes are available: • The "Automatic start" option indicates that the User Groupware is started at the same time as the application. The User Groupware login window is started before any other window of the application. The project initialization code is executed once the login window is opened and validated. • The "Manual start (programmatically)" option allows you to define when the User Groupware should be started.
