Applying Form Selections to All Users

The Apply to All Users button on the Forms Setup window enables you to save the form selections on the window to all machines using the same license. This is usually all machines in one shop but can be more than one shop depending on your setup.

The Forms Setup window with Apply to All Users circled.

As soon as you click Apply to All Users on one machine, those settings override the form selections on all other machines using the same license.

Guidelines for Using Apply to All

Please keep the following in mind when using the Apply to All Users button to manage your form selections:

This functionality can update only existing settings and cannot create new settings on a new machine.
Form selections cannot be applied to a brand new machine with no printer settings or forms selections.
To receive and apply the form selections from another machine, a machine must have at least the Printer Locations set in Configuration.
- Preferably, the machine would also have forms selected, but it is not required.

When setting up a new machine with no settings, you must set up at least the Printer Locations on that new machine. Then, you can either click the Apply to All Users button on another machine or select the forms on the new machine and click Apply to All Users.
