Orchid User Types & Features

Understanding Concurrent (DML) User Licensing

Concurrent (DML) User licences are allocated on a "First Come, First Served" basis:

  • Each Sage 300 user who requires access to the Orchid functionality described above needs to be flagged as a DML User
  • This is done by selecting Options on the Information Manager tray icon, then ticking the DML User checkbox
  • To enable the functionality, that user also needs to be allocated an available DML User licence
  • There is no limit to how many Sage 300 users can be flagged as DML Users, but only the number of licences purchased will be available for concurrent use
  • Once the available licences have all been allocated, other users will see a 'No Available DML User' message
  • When a DML User signs out of Sage 300 their licence is released and becomes available for another user

Understanding Named (Workflow) User Licensing

Workflow User licences are allocated to a specific, named user:

  • Named users, up to the number of current Workflow User licences, are assigned from within Extender
  • Workflow Users do not need to use a Sage 300 licence if their only interaction with Extender Workflow will be via the Remote Action Service
  • A Workflow User licence is not required to trigger an automatic Workflow (e.g. by updating a record in Sage 300)

Workflow Anywhere Users

  • A named Workflow Anywhere User licence is required to use the Workflow Anywhere App
  • This is in addition to the named Workflow User licences
  • Named users, up to the number of current Workflow Anywhere User licences, are assigned within Extender Setup > Licences

Email SmartLink (Bonus Feature)

All users who have been allocated an Orchid User licence, either concurrent or named, have access to this bonus feature.

  • Use the Email SmartLink icon on a Sage 300 screen to create an email
  • Paste in a SmartLink (hyperlink) to the active Sage 300 record
  • To use the link the recipient of the email also needs to be a licensed DML User or Workflow User
