Hello CSPro Users Forum!

Example
Code: Select all
PROC USER_NAME
if not loadcase(USER_PERMISSIONS_DICT,USER_NAME) then
errmsg("The entered user name is not in the database of users.");
reenter;
elseif USER_ALLOWED_DEVICE <> getdeviceid() then
errmsg("You, %s, do not have permission to use device %s.",strip(USER_NAME),getdeviceid());
reenter;
endif;

What exactly do you want to do with GetDeviceId?

I have about 10 devices and they are all syncing in the same place (location). I want to be able to trace the entries submitted from each device.

The easiest way to do that is to add an alpha item to your dictionary to store the device id and assign it to the value of the GetDeviceID() function in your logic. No need to put the item on a form. Just add it to the dictionary and then somewhere in your logic add:
DEVICE_ID = GetDeviceId();
You could add that for example to the preproc of the questionnaire.

Please Josh I'm a statistician but not a good programmer...
I've attached an application to this post initially, can you guide me on how to assig the logic to the dictionary item using the attached application?
Or can you at least explain more from you previous response so that I can get it better?
Thanks!

Add an item to your dictionary named DEVICE_ID that is type alpha and length 36 (the device id is never more than 36 characters).
In the logic view click on STUDYEXERCISE_LEVEL in the tree on the left to show the PROC STUDYEXERCISE_LEVEL and then add the following to that proc:
Code: Select all
preproc
DEVICE_ID = GetDeviceId();
That logic will run when you start a questionnaire and it will save the the device id to the variable you added to the dictionary.
