Reregistering data sources

Specifying that projects and baselines should be premounted

To specify that projects and their baselines should be premounted when the Enterprise server on which a data source is located is started, click the Actions dropdown underneath the data source, then click Pre-Mount.

Managing a data source's user-defined fields, tables and enumerators

You can create three types of custom definition in Server Admin for use in Asta Powerproject projects on a server-mounted data source:

User-defined fields (UDFs).
User-defined enumerators (UDEs).
User-defined tables (UDTs).

All three types of custom definition enable you to record information relating to Asta Powerproject objects in your own fields, accessible via the Properties dialogs in Asta Powerproject.

To manage a data source's custom definitions, click UDFs, UDEs or UDTs underneath the data source.
