Using REGISTER › Overriding Prototype Values

Overriding Prototype Values

As you have learned, when you define users to software systems, you create unique user IDs. For example, when your site installs CA ACF2 for VM, you create a unique logonid for each user. These IDs identify users to the system. Because many logonids are similar to each other, REGISTER lets you use prototypes when you create these IDs. Prototypes contain the basic outline for a user ID. Alter one or two values in the model to create a unique user ID.

The prototypes maintained in REGISTER are distinct from models used in other VM systems. The REGISTER prototypes contain specifications of default values that user IDs share. Because you can determine these defaults, you can also tailor these prototypes to your needs. REGISTER lists these prototypes on the Add a User screen. From this screen, you can then override the prototypes with the Zoom function.
