SFDC stations can be dedicated or operate in a dual role.

A dedicated SFDC station is one where Match-IT is configured to automatically start on the station and it can only perform SFDC actions and nothing else. The benefit of operating like this is that your staff cannot be distracted by the possibility of other functions and also, in this mode, the station is not consuming a user licence. In other words, you can have as many dedicated SFDC stations as you like, irrespective of the maximum number of users allowed on your licence.

A dual-role station allows SFDC and normal Match-IT action as well. Such stations do consume a user licence, so you are limited on how many of these you can have.

To setup a dedicated SFDC station, add a short-cut to your Startup program folder pointing at your match_go.exe program and add the /SFDC switch to its target. Starting Match-IT with the /SFDC switch causes it to start in SFDC mode without the need for a specific user to log-in. In this mode, any attempt to switch away to another application will not be tolerated for more than a few minutes before Match-IT grabs the ‘focus’ back. The time it will tolerate is controlled by the SFDC Max Wait Time Before Reset default (in the WO group).

To use SFDC along with other actions, just start Match-IT as usual and start the SFDC controller from the menu (functions, manufacture, SFDC controller in the standard menus). If you use SFDC like this you’ll probably want to stop it continually re-grabbing the focus. Do this by setting the SFDC Max Wait Time Before Reset default to zero.
