Our company has 2 locations, NJ and PA. When the NJ employees open Newforma, there is a drop down menu that defaults to the NJ office server. Same for PA employees.

We had an employee switch from the PA office to the NJ office, but when he opens Newforma, it is still defaulting to the PA server.

How do I update this?

Thanks

Hi,

You can reset their default Newforma Project Center Server from within the Project Center Administration console. Under the Project Center Users tab, double-click the user and reset their ‘Home NPCS Server’ to their new location (see attachment).

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your response Jim, but I’m wondering if those instructions pertain to a different version of Newforma then what my company is using. I have attached a screen shot of what my version looks like when I go into Project Center Users.

Hi,

Yes, the screenshot I sent is from Newforma Project Center Seventh Edition, and it looks like you’re using Sixth Edition instead. In that case, this will have to be managed through a couple of registry settings on the machine that the user is physically using:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Newforma/Sixth Edition/ProjectCenterServerName
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Newforma/Sixth Edition/ProjectCenterServerName

should both be changed to the name of the NPCS server in their new location. Be sure to make these changes while the NPC client and Outlook are both not running.

If they return back to your other office, you’ll need to reset these back to their original settings at that time.

Hope this helps!
