Creating Subscriber Templates

As you set up your database for the first time or add new subscribers to a working

database, you will soon find that many subscriber records look alike. Little information

changes from subscriber to subscriber with the exception of the ID, Capcode, Name, and

Account #. To save you typing time, you can define a set of “subscriber record templates”

that you can use to fill in a new record and minimize the additional work on your part. You

can define such settings as status, voice time, display limit, password, and PageSaver

messaging services.

The subscriber templates may be assigned any valid subscriber ID number. However, as a

matter of good practice, subscriber templates are usually assigned ID numbers between

1-000-0000 and 1-999-9999. When ZbaseW converts the database on the PC hard drive, it

only passes records numbered between 0000 and 999-9999 on to the paging terminal.

Assigning ID numbers above 1-000-0000 to templates means that they do not take up

memory space on the paging terminal; where they would never get used.

♦ To define a subscriber template:

1. Start the ZbaseW program and select the Edit tab.

2. On the Edit tab, click on the Subscribers button.

3. In the lower pane of the Edit Subscribers window, click on the New button.

4. Assign an ID number to the new subscriber record. This number should fall

between 1-000-0000 and 1-999-9999.

5. Fill out the rest of the subscriber record with all of the settings that are expected to

be common among subscribers set up with this template.

6. Save the template by using the Next or Previous buttons to move to another

subscriber in the database.

Since the template is not going to be used by anyone directly, it does not need to have a

customer number or a rate code assigned to it. You should probably use the Name and

Comment fields to label the template so that you can find it more easily when scanning

through the subscriber database.

♦ To use a template to create a new subscriber:

1. Start the ZbaseW program and select the Edit tab.

2. On the Edit tab, click on the Subscribers button.

Note Starting with version 5.2.1 of ZbaseW, a set of template files is

included with the default database. These templates appear in the

Edit | Subscribers window the first time it is opened. They have

been assigned the User ID numbers between 1000-0000 and

1000-0013.
