Documents parameters

The new document management of Password Safe supports the processing of program parameters. Therefore you can pass on information when starting the program. Not every program supports parameters. If you should not be sure if the desired program supports parameters look it up in the help of the program or contact the producer. If you add or link an application the array "parameters" becomes editable and you can accordingly define the parameters. These parameters can be fix or can be replaced by any form values of the record. For example the server IP or password and login information.

Example "parameter passing"

The server IP address should be passed to the Windows remote desktop application at the boot. To do so we start a new folder an allocate the folder for example the form "remote desktop access". Switch to the form assistant via the folder properties to read out the form data. The "array name" is the name of the variable value. If you want to pass for example the "domain" as a parameter the parameter variable has to be as follows: "{FRM:Domain}". If you want to pass the "server" that parameter would be: "{FRM:Server}". You can get more information on the forms under forms. Of course you can also pass "own arrays". You can get more information on that in the questions and anwers.

With the form assistant you get to know the variable name with which you can access the data. In the following example the server"{FRM:Server}" is passed to the remote desktop application with "parameters".

In order that the variable is replaced by the value the document has to be linked with a record (password). In our case the variable "{FRM:Server}" is replaced by the IP "192.168.0.45". So when you call up applications you can simply pass on information to them.
