Chapter 3 Installing AuthorIT 37
Changing Relative File Paths
If you change the relative positions of the Library database and the Templates
directory from AuthorITʹs default file directory structure, you will also need to change
settings in several AuthorIT objects (usually object templates). These settings point to
files whose location is always specified relative to the position of the Library file that
you are working with.
Note: In particular, change these settings in the Library that others are created from
(default.adl, or any other library that is stored in the Templates directory).
SQL Server
If you are using a SQL Server database, the locations of files are specified relative to
the Library path directory specified in the Summary section of the AuthorIT
Administrator. Think of this as your base directory.
To Change File Paths
1) Start the AuthorIT program and log in to your Library.
Enterprise Edition, Workgroup Edition
Youʹll need to log in as a User who has sufficient permissions to edit object
templates ‐ ʺ(supervisor)ʺ usually works.
2) Open the object templates for these types of object, and change their relative paths
if necessary:
Book object, Document tab, Word template field.
Index object, HTML tab, HTML Help sub‐tab, Index template and Sitemap
template fields.
Table of Contents object, HTML tab, HTML Help sub‐tab, Contents template
and Sitemap template fields.
Adjusting Each Computer's System Clock
AuthorITʹs object‐locking code currently relies on all client computers having their
system time within 5 minutes of each other. Itʹs good to do this when you install the
client software, if you do not have server‐based resynchronization each time the client
computers log in to your network.
