Manage repository profiles

You manage your repository profiles via the Repository profiles dialog box. You are provided with an overview of all existing repository profiles including the name and Indexserver URL. In addition, you can set up new repository profiles, delete existing repository profiles or display repository profiles as a PDF.

Repository profileProfile, repository

The Repository profiles dialog box can be called from two dialog boxes: the ELO Indexserver dialog box and the ELO logon dialog box.

The ELO Indexserver dialog box appears when you start the client for the first time after installation. Otherwise, the ELO logon dialog box appears when starting the client.

1. Use the CTRL+P keyboard shortcut to open the Repository profiles dialog box.

Please note: The corresponding dialog box must be active and in the foreground, since otherwise the keyboard shortcut will not apply to the ELO Java Client.

The Repository profiles dialog box appears.

Profiles: Overview of the available profiles.

Repository profile name: Name of the new profile.

Indexserver URL: Specify the Indexserver URL for establishing a connection between a repository and the client.

The URL of the Indexserver will be checked once it has been entered. If a connection to the Indexserver is established, the Indexserver URL field is green.

Alternatively: When the field is red, a connection to the Indexserver cannot be established with the URL you entered. Enter a valid Indexserver URL.

Information: If the Indexserver URL entered contains an error, you cannot log onto the repository. An error message appears in the ELO logon dialog box ("The connection to the Indexserver has failed.").

Optional: Enter a second Indexserver URL to the Alternative Indexserver URL field. ELO automatically connects to this URL if a connection cannot be established to the first URL.

New: Create a new profile via this button.

Delete: Use this button to delete a profile selected in the Profiles area.

PDF output: Use this button to print the profile settings as a PDF.

OK: Click the OK button to save the changes you made. The selected profile will be used next time you log on.
