NOTE: This information is stored in a ‘screen card’ which is displayed in the
main window of Delegate Database. Each delegate has a separate screen
card, with text boxes, edit fields and check boxes for specifying the details for
that delegate. Screen cards are stored by the DCN system in a names file.
A screen card is entered for each delegate. All delegate data is input via the
main window. For some entries (first name, last name) the only restriction
is the number of characters entered. For other entries (country, group etc.)
the input must be selected from a list of options which is presented by the
system when the user activates that particular field. This options list can be
edited and expanded by the user.
Once all delegate data has been specified, the ‘Apply’ menu option is used
to make the data contained in the current names file functional. This is
assuming that all input data is valid, and the PC is properly connected to
the Central Control Unit. If these criteria are met, the system adopts the
conference-related data entered in the screen card.
NOTE: Parameters specified in Delegate Database are used by certain other
DCN modules, and have a significant influence on the use of those modules.
For instance, if authorization to use a microphone is not granted for a dele-
gate (or a number of delegates) then this cannot be overruled using the Syn-
optic Microphone Control module. Similarly, if voting rights are not granted,
then this cannot be overruled using the Parliamentary Voting or Multi Voting
modules. The contents of a screen line specified in Delegate Database cannot
be altered using the Microphone Management module.
